Creating Service Fabric Api service only allows ASP .NET Core 2.1
When creating a new Service Fabric service I am looking to create the API service targeting ASP.NET Core 3.1. The only option I have available however is ASP.NET Core 2.1. I am using visual studio 2017 (15.9.18).
How do I add or enable ASP .NET Core 3.1, is this only available in Visual Studio 2019?
Solution
Visual Studio 2017 isn't supported for building dotnet core 3.x applications.
From the announcement post:
Visual Studio 2019 will be the release to support building .NET Core 3 applications
and
It is currently possible to open .NET Core 3.0 projects in Visual Studio 2017 15.9, however, it is not a supported scenario
There is some information about enabling previews to get it working but you run into other issues with MSBuild versions.
