|  | DOTNET_SDK | 
|  | ---------- | 
|  |  | 
|  | .. versionadded:: 3.23 | 
|  |  | 
|  | Specify the .NET SDK for C# projects.  For example: ``Microsoft.NET.Sdk``. | 
|  |  | 
|  | This property tells :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2019 and | 
|  | above to generate a .NET SDK-style project using the specified SDK. | 
|  | The property is meaningful only to these generators, and only in C# | 
|  | targets.  It is ignored for C++ projects, even if they are managed | 
|  | (e.g. using :prop_tgt:`COMMON_LANGUAGE_RUNTIME`). | 
|  |  | 
|  | This property must be a non-empty string to generate .NET SDK-style projects. | 
|  | CMake does not perform any validations for the value of the property. | 
|  |  | 
|  | This property may be initialized for all targets using the | 
|  | :variable:`CMAKE_DOTNET_SDK` variable. | 
|  |  | 
|  | .. note:: | 
|  |  | 
|  | The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` in this version of CMake have not | 
|  | yet learned to support :command:`add_custom_command` in .NET SDK-style | 
|  | projects.  It is currently an error to attach a custom command to a | 
|  | target with the ``DOTNET_SDK`` property set. |
