Use Visual Studio 2017 with .Net Core SDK 2.0

Question

Can i open a core 2.0 project in Visual Studio 2017?

I\'ve installed the latest dotnet-core (2.0.0-preview2-005840) and created a core 2.0 console-app.

Answer 1

Update:

There is now a VS 2017 15.3 preview that resolves this issue. Starting with VS 15.3, Visual Studio carries an MSBuild SDK resolver that determines which version of the CLI SDK a project would use (e.g. if a global.json sets the version) and uses it's MSBuild targets so new previews are picked up by VS.

Original:

You can modify your environment to get VS 2017 support for the unreleased 2.0 tooling by setting the MSBuildSdksPath as described in https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/231 so that VS picks up the build logic from the CLI.

The Visual Studio .NET Core tools were just released in March, yet the 2.0 preview you are using was released in April. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/03/07/announcing-net-core-tools-1-0/ You'll need to wait for an update to the .NET Core Tools before you can use Visual Studio with .NET Core 2.0

Visual Studio 2017 Version 15.3 Released and .NET Core 2.0 also Released with nuget v4.3 and the problem is resolved completely.

Landed on this today (April 2019) and it appears that now there is a version of .NET Core Tools SDK for VS 2017. Here's how you get to it: 1. browse to http://dot.net 2. Under .NET Core 2.2, look for "Download .NET Core SDK (Compatible with Visual Studio 2017" 3. Visual studio 2017 (I have version 15.9.11) should now list .NET Core 2.2 as a target framework
