Can't load the solution using 2017 Version 15.7.4 and the latest version of Core 2.1.201

Hello, great book!!! But, I can't download these examples and run them. The exception is Project File incomplete. Expected imports are missing. I can run your code if I create a new project and move your code into it. Just wondering if you have had this issue and found a solution? I thought it might be because I don't have any earlier versions of .net core on my PC. Just 2.1.201. I'm going to guess it has something to do with the older references in you project file ValidatingWithDataAnnotions.

In any case the book is fantastic. Thank you,

Wayne

Hi @WayneHuntley - thanks so much, glad you're enjoying it! It's very possible to do with not having earlier versions of .NET Core on your PC, so good guess 🙂

Could you try deleting the global.json file in the root directory? That file enforces that you have a 2.0.0 version of the SDK installed, which you don't (and shouldn't need).

Basically that file shouldn't be there - I just want to double check that removing it fixes your problem.

Thank you Andrew,

I'll give that a try. I didn't realize the global.json folder would effect everything in the chapter child folders when I'm running the project directly from the chapter folder. Wow! That did the trick!

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Great, I'll remove the global.json shortly 🙂

Yeah, the global.json affects everything in child folders. dotnet "walks up" through parent folders until it finds one - if it doesn't find one it just uses the default SDK - i.e. the latest SDK you have installed

Thank you,

See I even learn something from trying to run your examples LOL :-)

I've read my fair share of tech manuals over the past 30 + years. Your way of explaining the subject really works for me. I've been using Core for the last year building SPA apps. But, it was great to read about Core and get all the details.
