I noticed that if I attempt to add the .net core nuget package to a .net 8 project with entity framework core design package installed the add will fail as the Telerik package requires older libraries that the newer entity framework is not compatible with. The Telerik blog page indicates that the latest Telerik package is fully compatible with .net 8 and I dont believe that is accurate. Any idea when this will be fixed.
.Net 8 compatibility

We're also getting a similar issue using the Microsoft code analysis package;
Yes, I noticed that too this morning, however mine was about version 4.5, not 4.4.
Awaiting an update from Telerik on this issue. I don't reference EF Core Design package, but I do have EF Core SqlServer and EF Core Tools (one of which may required the Design package).
I also tried directly referencing Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces 4.5.0 directly (as well as 4.7.0 - the latest available at the time of this post) and that still didn't work
Hi,
Since Lenny opened an identical thread regarding the same subject matter, I will post my answer here, so that it could be helpful to the community as well:
"Generally, the Telerik UI library is compatible with .NET 8.0. Thus, to omit the error, a possible recommendation would be to install the all-in-one NuGet package "Microsoft.CodeAnalysis" instead. This package can be perceived as an indirect dependency, thus, it can be altered as per your requirements:
This would override the existing package reference to "CodeAnalysis" within the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core assembly:
I have purposefully created a proof-of-concept sample application that tackles the aforementioned approach, as well as including some of the newly released EntityFrameworkCore packages that require a latter version of the dependency."
I hope this helps.
This doesn't seem to solve my issue. I updated to the latest Telerik package (2023.3.1114 at time of comment) and bumped my projects to .NET 8. I also added Microsoft.CodeAnalysis 4.5 (later updating it to 4.7) and it's still throwing the error
Telerik has a hard reference to Microsoft.CodeAnalysis 4.4.0 which has the reference to Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces 4.4.0
They will have to fix this before we can add Microsoft.EntityFramework.Tools package.
I am again giving you a follow-up on a previous communication with Lenny:
In regard to the source code, we agree with you that we have added an explicit reference to "Code.Analysis 4.4.0". Since we have received a vast amount of reports these past days, we will diligently explore the option of migrating the existing package to a version that is supported by ".NET 8".
Nevertheless, I have further added the following set of packages to the existing project infrastructure:
However, I did not manage to observe a compile-time or a run-time error.
Additionally, CodeAnalysis has direct dependencies in which it comes with:
Thus, if both of the packages are explicitly referenced on your side, I would recommend omitting them. Additionally, try to clean and rebuild the project.
