Visual Studio 2022 HTML empty project

Question

I would like to create an project to track a website I am creating that only uses javascript, css, and html. I have tried to create a project file and just leave out the SDK but that prevents Visual Studio from loading the project. Is there another way to do it?

Hello @Anonymous ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

In short, the SDK is needed. If you want to create a project(based on .NET), then you need to include/import SDK in the project file(or generating it by using VS, automatically, when you create a project), unless you don't create a project.

Normally, the project templates in Visual Studio contain the necessary minimal settings which make them successfully build and run. See this document: .NET project SDKs, for .NET projects, the SDK is needed like

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">  
…  
</Project>  

Otherwise the project will not be loaded as you can see.

Sincerely,
Tianyu
