When adding Selenium.WebDriver to C# project using VSCode, the project doesn't compile

[tarekahf]

What happened?

I was following the steps here:

https://www.fleekitsolutions.com/use-selenium-c-visual-studio-code/

To use Selenium 4 with vs code. I installed .NET 5 and .NET 6 SDK.

I created the sample Hello World Project using dotnet new console and tried to import the Selenium.WebDriver package using NuGet, and run dotnet restore, I get the following error:

error NU1100: Unable to resolve 'Selenium.WebDriver (>= 4.1.0)' for 'net6.0'.

What browsers and operating systems are you seeing the problem on?

How can we reproduce the issue?

- Open vscode
- Switch to .NET 5 to verify or use .NET 6 (the default and latest one installed)
`dotnet new globaljson --sdk-version 5.0.405 --force`
- Create sample dotnet project using `dotnet new console`
- Run the project ==> is is good
- Import Selnium.WebDriver using NuGet Add Package (Ctrl-Shift-P)
- Run `dotnet restore` you will get this error:
`error NU1100: Unable to resolve 'Selenium.WebDriver (>= 4.1.0)' for 'net6.0'`
