.NET Core 7 SDK is not shown in Visual Studio 2019

I want to build a Web API project in .NET Core and I am a complete beginner in .NET Core.

I have installed this .NET 7 SDK. I have Visual Studio 2019 and when I try to create a new project I don't see .NET Core 7 in target framework's dropdown.

I checked the control panel and it is showing :

I already have .NET core 2.1.802 and this is also shown in visual studio. But .NET 7 is not shown.

Did I download wrong version or does this SDK not contain .NET Core. I am a bit confused about it.

Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks a lot.

Solution

  • Based on Visual Studio 2019 Support for .NET Development, Visual Studio 2019 supports the following .NET implementations:

    • .NET version 5 (Visual Studio 16.8 or later)
    • .NET Framework versions 4.8, 4.7.2, 4.7.1, 4.7, 4.6.2, 4.6.1, 4.6, 4.5.2, 4.5.1, 4.5, and 4.0
    • .NET Core 3.1, 3.0, 2.2, 2.1, and 1.1.
    • .NET Native
    • Mono

    So if you want to develop .NET 7 applications, install Visual Studio 2022.
