How setting VS C# Console App (.NET Framework) template to target Framework 7.0?

Question

The default setting is until Framework 4.8 in my VS 2022.

How set to versions greater than 4.8?

Answer 1

Try to create a new “Console App” project instead of “Console App (.NET Framework)”. In the New Project dialog, select “.NET 7.0” and optionally the “Do not use top-level statements” option.

Then copy your code from previous project. (Sometimes some adjustments are required).

The new versions are called “.NET” without “Framework”. You can find the details in documentation.
