net5.0 or netcoreapp5.0?

[ndepend]

I am working with VS2019 16.6.5 and runtime 5.0.0-preview.8 (both updated to latest available today)  

It seems to me that in .csproj I should have <TargetFramework>**net5.0**</TargetFramework>   and not <TargetFramework>**netcoreapp5.0**</TargetFramework>  

However for projects of kind Blazor AspNetCore and WindowsDesktop (both WPF and Winforms) I have netcoreapp5.0 only for Console project I have net5.0

It seems related to this closed issue

[sfoslund]

@pranavkm I assume the blazor templates just haven't been updated yet? Is that work being tracked?

[pranavkm]

That's strange, I don't see that in our preview8 (or later templates). @psmacchia could you try running dotnet new -u? It should tell you what templates you have installed. It might gives us hints if something's amiss.

@pranavkm Here is the result:

Looks like your web project templates are really old:

Microsoft.DotNet.Web.ProjectTemplates.5.0 Details: NuGetPackageId: Microsoft.DotNet.Web.ProjectTemplates.5.0 Version: 5.0.0-preview.4.20257.10

I wonder if it's just a bad installation. Could you try repairing your SDK install? Alternatively you could install manually install the latest SDK.

dotnet new --install Microsoft.DotNet.Web.ProjectTemplates.5.0::5.0.0-preview.8.20414.8

[ndepend]

Thanks I did dotnet new --install Microsoft.DotNet.Web.ProjectTemplates.5.0::5.0.0-preview.8.20414.8 and it worked.

Then I upgraded to latest VS 2019 16.7.2 and I have installed [.NET 5.0 RC1 SDK] and VS 2019 16.7.2 doesn't know anymore about .NET 5.0 projects. I have the target framework net5.0-windows in WindowsForm and WPF projects and I get the error: NETSDK1013 The TargetFramework value 'net5.0-windows' was not recognized. It may be misspelled. If not, then the TargetFrameworkIdentifier and/or TargetFrameworkVersion properties must be specified explicitly

I've installed VS2019 16.8.0 Preview3 and can indeed compile such net5.0-windows project. But VS2019 16.7.2 doesn't know about .NET 5.0 despite I installed from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0 ( Windows 64bits )

• SDK 5.0.100-rc.1

Btw, in the same vein (Runtime Target Name RTM matters) in a .NET 5.0 RC1 project created with VS2019 16.8.0 Preview, in the .deps.json file the runtimeTargets still mention .NET Core through ".NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0" I would expect ".NETApp,Version=v5.0", or even better "net5.0":

{
  "runtimeTarget": {
    "name": ".NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0",
    "signature": ""
  },
  "compilationOptions": {},
  "targets": {
    ".NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0": {
      "ConsoleApp61/1.0.0": {
        "runtime": {
          "ConsoleApp61.dll": {}
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "libraries": {
    "ConsoleApp61/1.0.0": {
      "type": "project",
      "serviceable": false,
      "sha512": ""
    }
  }
}

in the .deps.json file the runtimeTargets still mention .NET Core through ".NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0" I would expect ".NETApp,Version=v5.0", or even better "net5.0"

It's been decided to continue to use .NETCoreApp at the target framework identifier for .NET, since this value is mostly internal we feel it doesn't need to be updated with the new branding.

Thanks @sfoslund as .NET tool developers this info helps us.

There is still this issue: I have installed [.NET 5.0 RC1 SDK] and VS 2019 16.7.2 doesn't know anymore about .NET 5.0 projects despite Environment > Use previews of the .NET Core SDK enabled. Thus I have the target framework net5.0-windows in WindowsForm and WPF .NET 5.0 RC1 projects and I get the error: NETSDK1013 The TargetFramework value 'net5.0-windows' was not recognized. It may be misspelled. If not, then the TargetFrameworkIdentifier and/or TargetFrameworkVersion properties must be specified explicitly

I've installed VS2019 16.8.0 Preview3 and can indeed compile such net5.0-windows project. But VS2019 16.7.2 doesn't know about .NET 5.0 despite I installed all pkg from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0 ( Windows 64bits ) and despite restart:

• SDK 5.0.100-rc.1
• ASP.NET Core Runtime 5.0.0-rc.1
• Desktop Runtime 5.0.0-rc.1
• .NET Runtime 5.0.0-rc.1

[sfoslund]

@psmacchia yes, this is expected. .NET 5 depends on components that are in VS 16.8 but not 16.7.

Thanks @sfoslund this ticket is then now closed
