VS 2017 ASP.Net Core Web Application cannot target .Net Framework



I seem to have lost the ability to create an ASP.Net Core Web Application that targets the .Net Framework. The dropdown is disabled where it used to be enabled.



enter image description here



I have .Net 471, 472 SDKs and targeting packs installed and my VS2017 is updated to 15.7.6.



I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the .Net 4.7x SDKs and targeting packs but that didn't help.



Is there something short of reinstalling Visual Studio from scratch that I can do?

The project template only supports .NET Core. However, once you create the project, you can edit your .csproj and change:


.csproj


<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>



To:


<TargetFramework>net472</TargetFramework>



Save, and you're good to go.





Thanks. I was just about to fix that. Forgot the 4 because I'm not caffienated enough yet.

The ASP.NET Core team goes back and forth on it. They've removed and added back full framework support multiple times. I think the idea is that they're trying to nudge you away from that path by not presenting it as an option in the GUI. Frankly, there's very little reason at this point to actually use the full framework unless you're dealing with lots of Windows-specific APIs. With .NET Standard 2.0, you can utilize virtually any full framework library in your project targeting .NET Core 2.0+.

That's actually the wrong approach. You should target .NET Core until you cannot, not start with .NET Framework. It's not just about being cross-platform; running on .NET Core takes out a ton of headaches associated with using and maintaining the full framework.

I agree. However when you're trying to convince a large corporate IT developer community to move to Core, telling them they can still target .Net framework was a carrot....

It would appear that there are two templates now that can create an ASP.Net Core Web Application.



Under .Net Core

And under Web

To get the option of selecting to target .Net Core or .Net Framework, you must use the template under Web.

However, I have added products for each plan and when I hit SELECT PLAN button I redirect to some custom form where I ask users range of info we are going to use to fulfil the plan (same as sneakertub.com). I have written code into the PHP page which will handle SUBMIT action of the form. This PHP file, infopage.php , will process POST data I sent via POST call and stores these all data into WC session. infopage.php $customer_name = $_POST["customer_name"]; $customer_email = $_POST["customer_email"]; $customer_sex = $_POST["customer_sex"]; $customer_age = $_POST["customer_age"]; $product_id = $_POST["product_id"]; global $wp_session; $data = array( 'customer_name' => $customer_name, 'customer_email' =...
