There are several templates come with .net SDK installation. I am using .net 8 SDK now, but I would like to install some blazor related templates which are coming with .net7 SDK, as I am studying some blazor tutorial videos which were made in .net 7.
I can find these old blazor templates after install .net 7 sdk. But I would like to know if there is a way to install previous template without installing the old SDK, e.g. blazorwasm? Thanks!
Hello @William Liu,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Is the template you mean the Blazor Server App project template? If so, it has been removed in .NET 8 which means Installing .NET 7 is needed to add it to Visual Studio and use it.
BTW, it seems that you can create a Blazor Server App project targets .NET 7 and change it to target .NET 8 later. There’s a thread for you to refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1457232/why-does-visual-studio-create-a-solution-not-allow
Best Regards
Jason
The Blazor Server template comes with the .NET Core 7 SDK. If .NET 7 is installed then simply select Blazor Server App when creating a new project.
If you do not have .NET 7 then install the SDK.
Thanks, I have read that the blazorserver template has been discontinued since .NET 8 SDK.

Correct, the .NET 8 SDK Blazor template is different than the previous Blazor templates. Install .NET 7 if you want the Blazor server template.
As already stated you should move to .NET 8 Blazor.

I would not bother with blazor 7 templates. If you can not use a Blazor 8 template with the sample code, then I’d skip the tutorial. Generally you will understand the code better if you need to convert to current version. also see breaking changes:

Thanks Bruce. I can understand what you mean, but I still want to know if there is a way to directly install the previous version of the template.
