SDK project.assets.json - multi-target project framework being set to wrong target framework

[gursharan001]

Description

project.assets.json lists a multi-target project as targeting net461 even though netstandard2.0 is set in project reference

Repro steps

unzip the attachment ProjectAssetsJson.zip
MSBUILD version - 16.2.37902.0

1. go to root folder of project
2. run .paket\paket.exe install
3. run msbuild /t:cleanobjbins
4. run msbuild /t:restore
5. run msbuild /t:build

Expected behavior

TestingHost/obj/project.assets.json - Dependency-MultiTarget would have framework value as ".NETStandard,Version=v2.0"

TestngHost/bin - this folder should have

1. Dependency-MultiTarget.dll - built for .netstandard2.0
2. Depdendency_NetStandard.dll

Actual behavior

TestingHost/obj/project.assets.json - Dependency-MultiTarget framework is set to ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1"

TestngHost/bin - this folder has

1. Dependency-MultiTarget.dll - built for .netstandard2.0 (Verified using ILSpy)
2. Dependency_Net46.dll (should have been Dependency_NetStandard.dll)

Known workarounds

None

i was able to reproduce this without using paket. Using nuget restore has similar behavior. here is a open issue on nuget - dotnet/core#2571

closing this now.
