Versions in Visual Studio 2017?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">If you&#8217;re a .NET developer, then you&#8217;re probably familiar with Visual Studio, Microsoft&#8217;s integrated development environment (IDE) for creating applications on Windows, web, and mobile platforms. But have you heard about .NET Core, Microsoft&#8217;s open-source, cross-platform development framework? It&#8217;s taken the .NET developer world by storm as the go-to for building modern applications across various platforms. Let&#8217;s dive into the perplexing process of changing .NET Core versions in Visual Studio 2017.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"perplexity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Different_NET_Core_Versions\"><\/span>What are Different .NET Core Versions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">Before we get started with the process of changing .NET Core versions in Visual Studio 2017, it&#8217;s essential to understand why different versions matter. .NET Core is continuously evolving, and new versions are released periodically, with improvements, bug fixes, and new features. Sometimes, applications may have dependencies that require specific .NET Core versions. In those instances, the project&#8217;s .NET Core version needs to change to match the dependency.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"perplexity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_NET_Core_Versions_in_Visual_Studio_2017\"><\/span>How to Change .NET Core Versions in Visual Studio 2017?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">Changing .NET Core versions in Visual Studio 2017 is relatively easy. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"perplexity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Open_the_Solution_Explorer\"><\/span>Step 1: Open the Solution Explorer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">First, fire up Visual Studio 2017 and navigate to the Solution Explorer. This tab provides a hierarchical view of the projects and files within your solution.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"perplexity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Select_the_Project\"><\/span>Step 2: Select the Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">Next, select the project that you want to change the .NET Core version for. Right-click on the project name and from the context menu that appears, select &#8220;Properties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"perplexity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Change_the_Target_Framework\"><\/span>Step 3: Change the Target Framework<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">In the Properties window, go to the &#8220;Application&#8221; tab. Here, you will see an option to change the &#8220;Target Framework.&#8221; Click on the dropdown arrow next to it and choose the .NET Core version you want to use. Then click &#8220;OK&#8221; to save the changes, and Visual Studio will automatically reload the project with the selected .NET Core version.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"perplexity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Verify_Changes\"><\/span>Step 4: Verify Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">Finally, It&#8217;s a good idea to verify that the changes were successful. Open up the project&#8217;s .csproj file, and you should see the updated &#8220;TargetFramework&#8221; property with the selected .NET Core version.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"perplexity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrap_Up\"><\/span>Wrap Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"burstiness\">Changing .NET Core versions in Visual Studio 2017 is a straightforward process that allows your project to use the correct version of .NET Core for your dependencies. By following the steps above, you can quickly switch between different .NET Core versions to suit your project&#8217;s needs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confused about .NET Core Versions in Visual Studio 2017?
