* Support loading parts through an assembly metadata attribute with a
key of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.AdditionalReference and a value that
describes the additional assembly to add to the list of parts and
whether or not it should be added by default. The additional reference
can only contain the file name of the assembly and it must be located
side by side with the assembly where the additional reference is
defined.
* Add an AdditionalAssemblyPart application parts to represent parts
that are not part of the original application per se, like precompiled
views.
* Update the ViewsFeatureProvider to search for razor views in the
application part directly instead of trying to load the precompiled
views assembly part.
- thanx to @NTaylorMullen for initial conversion
- e.g. AssemblyInfo.cs files were already minimized or removed :)
- allow `>=` RC3 CLI's to build and run MVC
- work around several dotnet migration issues; see #5482
- disable full .NET Framework runs of functional tests; see #5873
- remove `Microsoft.DotNet.InternalAbstractions` and `System.Xml.XmlDocument` dependencies
- remove project.json (!!), *.xproj, .notest, and web.config files
Redo earlier changes:
- apply test migration to .NET 4.5.2 in *.csproj world
- see 63507c8 for previous, project.json work
- apply dependency version downgrade from 0097e40 in *.csproj world
Make other test-related changes:
- make Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TestDiagnosticListener a regular class library
- add support for `/p:GenerateBaselines=true` for functional and Razor.Host tests
- separate `GetCSharpTypeName_ReturnsCorrectTypeNames_ForOutParameter()` test
- work around inability to deserialize a odd `ref` type
- xUnit and vstest now serialize / deserialze test data more often
- skip poor test mentioned in #5768
- work around Microsoft/vstest#392
- rename tests to avoid duplicates
- work around Microsoft/vstest#419
- set up created `AppDomain`s with current `ApplicationBase`
