How to Create a Console App Targeting .NET Standard 4.6.1 in Visual Studio 2022 CE

Are you struggling to create a console application targeting .NET Standard 4.6.1 using Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition (VS2022 CE)? You're not alone! Many developers encounter this issue, especially when trying to work with specific libraries that require older frameworks. In this post, we’ll break down the steps to guide you through the process of setting up your project correctly.

Understanding the Problem

When you attempt to create a new console application in VS2022 CE, you may only see options for newer frameworks like .NET 6.0 or .NET 7.0. This can be frustrating if you need .NET Standard 4.6.1 for compatibility with certain libraries.

It’s essential to understand that there are different templates in Visual Studio for various frameworks, and using the correct template is crucial for your project requirements.

Step-by-Step Solution

Follow these steps to create your console application targeting .NET Standard 4.6.1:

1. Open Visual Studio 2022 CE

Launch Visual Studio and navigate to the Start Window.

2. Create a New Project

Click on Create a new project.

3. Select the Correct Template

Search for and Choose the Right Template:

Instead of selecting the default Console App (with .NET Core), search for Console App (.NET Framework).

This template allows you to select from older frameworks, including .NET Standard 4.6.1.

4. Configure Your Project

Once you have selected Console App (.NET Framework), click Next.

Give your project a name and choose its location.

Click Create.

5. Choose the Framework

Target Framework:

A dialog should appear where you can select your target framework.

Choose .NET Framework 4.6.1, and ensure it's highlighted.

6. Complete Setup

Click Create to finish setting up your project.

You now have a console application configured specifically to target .NET Standard 4.6.1.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Template Missing: If you can’t find the Console App (.NET Framework) template, ensure that your Visual Studio installation includes the .NET desktop development workload.

Framework Not Installed: Verify that .NET Framework 4.6.1 is installed on your machine. You can do so through the Windows Features settings.

Conclusion

Now you have a clear process for creating a console application targeting .NET Standard 4.6.1 using Visual Studio 2022 CE. By following the template and framework selection correctly, you'll be able to utilize the specific libraries you need without hassle. Happy coding!
