Applications node not available under Packaging Project #240

Closed docfresh closed 3 years ago

docfresh commented 3 years ago

In this URL, under step 4, the "Applications" node is not visible when creating a new Windows Application Packaging Project: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/desktop/desktop-to-uwp-packaging-dot-net

Visual Studio 16.10.0 .NET 5

Attempting to build the project yields this error: "Project must have a reference to an application. Please add a reference under the 'Applications' node in the Solution Explorer."

However, this node does not exist.

The documentation for this change can be found in the Visual Studio 16.10 Release Notes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes#WAPAnchor

You'd have to add a Project Reference by right-clicking the Dependencies Node and click "Add Project Reference." Add the project reference to the xns6 project. The Applications Node should appear and should have the reference to the project.

Thank you for the assistance. It appears step 4 will need to be updated in the linked documentation.
