Is there a "name" for the new csproj file format? I've been referring to it as the "Sdk style project". Is there an official name? If not, can someone please make an official name, and publicize it, so that we can easily search for documentation on it? It is a huge improvement over the "old style", but it is hard to locate the correct documentation, because I don't know what to search for.

When someone asked this internally, "Sdk-style project" was the consensus.
@pilchie @davkean @AndyGerlicher @livarcocc @Microsoft/msbuild-maintainers -- objections on making that more formal?
We didn't originally have a name for the distinction because from MSBuild's perspective there isn't much of a difference. But the fact that they get opened by the CPS project system + the user-perception difference probably makes it worth having a name.

Yeah, we've been calling "sdk-style" internally - I agree on making formal.

+1 here. @mairaw for pointers on where to document this.

It's been on my backlog to document the "sdk-style" reference on docs. I was also thinking we should have an official name. SDK-style projects was what I thinking of calling those.
