What are the project builders?

Question

C++ / C#

Good afternoon!
The crux of the issue is in the title. I know that in Java there are Maven and Gradle project builders that build the project and pull up dependencies if they are used in the project by something else (testing libraries and much more). Is there a similar collector for C#?

Answer 1

For .NET, these are MSBuild (as part of MSVS), xbuild (as an analogue of MSBuild in Mono), as well as NAnt (an analogue of Ant for Java) and NuGet (dependencies, as part of MSVS, can also be used under Mono).
MSBuild, like Maven, declarative (XML), has an API for writing plugins in C#.
