Explanation
This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of packaging code components.
You must install .NET build tools as a prerequisite and add MSBuild.exe/dotnet.exe in the Path environment variable. Developer Command Prompt for VS Code has specific environment variables set, so you can run the MSBuild command without having to know where utilities are located. The msbuild /t:restore command will generate a zip file from your solution project. The dotnet build command will generate a zip file from your solution project if you previously have installed the .NET 5 SDK.
