Core: Visual Studio 2019 .NET Core 3 project not included in release

[rogerfar]

When creating a new .NET core project, .NET core 3.0 is not listed in the templates:

Also it doesn't show up in the .NET Core selection of the project properties:

dotnet --list-sdks lists:

2.1.802 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.2.204 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
3.0.100 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

This was an issue before too but I assumed that the release of 3 would include it.

I use VS2019 Community and installed dotnet-sdk-3.0.100-win-x64.exe

Will we have to wait for Visual Studio 16.4 before this is released?

I'm also excited to give it a try on VS 2019 Community, but same issue. Till date, i was using another instance of VS 2019 Community Preview with .net core 3 rc. Just, uninstalled it and installed .net core 3 and I can see it in VS 2019 Community Preview but not in VS 2019 Community.

@dagood any idea here?

Got it, .NET Core 3.0 requires Visual Studio 2019 16.3 or later. Ref https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/asp-net-core-and-blazor-updates-in-net-core-3-0/

Sorry, just realized we're still on 16.2.5! I suppose we're waiting on the 16.3 release.

Glad you all were able to figure it out. 😄

You can also see this info on the SDK download page, the yellow banner: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/thank-you/dotnet-sdk-3.0.100-windows-x64-installer.

@dagood Any insider information about if 16.3 will be released soon? 😄

[itorian]

Yah, but waiting to see 16.3 in VS. Even MS team using Preview in live stream.

[rogerfar]

Well that was quick, 16.3 just released now 😅
