| The "Sdk.Web thing" is the way the project is built. As I and several people in this thread has pointed out to you, the application the resulting application is not a "web" application. It is a console app that launches a webserver. The Sdk (without web) is not designed to compile cshtml and/or razor source files. It has nothing to do with package dependencies. If you do want to start of with a console app sdk, then look at "minimal API". You simply add package references to Microsoft.AspNetCore and Microsoft.AspNetCore.App to your console app, and then you can start using the minimal API samples. They will also launch a website. The example I showed you above was literally adding two lines and changing one line; and then you had a console app which asked the port and launched a webserver on that port. If you start from a console app, you will not have build targets configured for cdhtml and razor files. However, to prove that you can launch a webserver the same way you can do this (yes I have tried it and it works): 1) Add dependencies to your "console sdk" project: <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore" Version="2.2.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" Version="2.2.8" />
2) Replace program.cs with this (this is the entire app): using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();
app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");
app.Run();
Voila. A web server. |
