Rest service template and .NET 8

[Joe]

This may be a dumb question, I apologize in advance.

I was tasked with updating and existing Rest service from .net 4.6.1 to .net 8.

I was going to just create a new one using your template, but it only supports up to .net 4.8.

What am I missing here?

 

Thank you!

Hi Joe,

Thank you for reaching out.

Indeed, creating a new Reporting REST Service using our template may be easier than updating the existing project.

However, there are two Visual Studio project templates. One is for .NET Framework projects (up to .NET 4.8.1) and the other is for .NET Core projects (.NET 6 and later).

Make sure you choose the template that has no "(.NET Framework)" suffix and you should see .NET 8 in the available target frameworks.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Momchil
