Cargo SDK not compatible with .NET 10 SDK

[dfederm]

Error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\10.0.101\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.PackProjectTool.props(16,13): error MSB4022: The result "" of evaluating the value "$(MicrosoftNETBuildTasksAssembly)" of the "AssemblyFile" attribute in element is not valid.

Specifically this is the CargoInstall.proj project inside the SDK

This is because this PR: dotnet/sdk#49479. It adds:

  <UsingTask TaskName="Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks.GetNuGetShortFolderName"
            AssemblyFile="$(MicrosoftNETBuildTasksAssembly)" />

MicrosoftNETBuildTasksAssembly is defined in Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Common.targets, which the CargoInstall.proj does not import. It does import Microsoft.NET.Sdk's props, but not the targets.

Issue is not VS2026 related, but only occurs when targeting net10.

On my MBP (obv. no VS), the error repros as @dfederm described while targeting net10, but works without hiccup when targeting net8. Seems like a regression from net8, and is in effect a net10 blocker for rust/cargo projects in an msbuild tree.

net10 repro:

• global.json:

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "10.0.100"
  },
  "msbuild-sdks": {
    "Microsoft.Build.Cargo": "1.0.365-preview"
  }
}

• repro.cargoproj:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.Build.Cargo">
</Project>

• dotnet restore repro.cargoproj ==> same error as OP

net8 still works:

• change global.json to use net8 sdk: "version": "8.0.100"
• dotnet restore repro.cargoproj ==> restore completes successfully

Yep, the error and the change I pointed to both show that it's net10, not VS2026 (tbf, VS2026 comes.woth net10 though).
