How to parse version range

Now we are making a solution that has to get the package reference. But the version of package reference is a range and the default version parser need input a version but not a version range. This post will tell you how to parse the version range string to reference version.

The format for reference version is like this

[2.1.0.293,3.0)
[1.1.0.34,2.0)
(1.1.0.34,2.0]
2.1

For parse the reference version string, we should make some property.

    public class ReferenceVersion
    {
        public ReferenceVersion(Version version)
        {
            Version = version;
            MinVersion = version;
            MaxVersion = version;
            IsIncludeMaxVersion = true;
            IsIncludeMinVersion = true;
        }

        public ReferenceVersion(Version minVersion, Version maxVersion, bool isIncludeMinVersion,
            bool isIncludeMaxVersion)
        {
            Version = null;
            MinVersion = minVersion;
            MaxVersion = maxVersion;
            IsIncludeMinVersion = isIncludeMinVersion;
            IsIncludeMaxVersion = isIncludeMaxVersion;
        }

        public Version Version { get; }

        public Version MinVersion { get; }

        public Version MaxVersion { get; }

        public bool IsIncludeMinVersion { get; }

        public bool IsIncludeMaxVersion { get; }
}

I will use regex to get the string and parse the string to version.

      public static ReferenceVersion Parser(string str)
        {
            if (_regex == null)
            {
                _regex = new Regex(@"([(|\[])([\d|.]*),([\d|.]*)([)|\]])", RegexOptions.Compiled);
            }

            var res = _regex.Match(str);

            if (res.Success)
            {
                var isIncludeMinVersion = res.Groups[1].Value;
                var minVersion = res.Groups[2].Value;
                var maxVersion = res.Groups[3].Value;
                var isIncludeMaxVersion = res.Groups[4].Value;

                return new ReferenceVersion
                (
                    string.IsNullOrEmpty(minVersion) ? null : Version.Parse(minVersion),
                    string.IsNullOrEmpty(maxVersion) ? null : Version.Parse(maxVersion),
                    isIncludeMinVersion.Equals("["),
                    isIncludeMaxVersion.Equals("]")
                );
            }

            return new ReferenceVersion(Version.Parse(str));
        }

        private static Regex _regex;

We can get the reference version in the solution file and know the solution reference package.
