.NET CORE Solution Not Opening in VS 2017

Question

Dear Team,

I have Visual Studio 2017 installed on my machine.

I downloaded (cloned) a project from GitHub.

This project is not opening Visual Studio 2017.

Error In the output window is - Project file is incomplete. Expected imports are missing.

I tried installing .NET Core SDK 2.2 , but again the same issue is there.

Could you please guide me on this ?

HI Riddhi Valecha, Every medium project should be developed by various packages then bundled with a single file of execution. If you need to run a project that was developed long days ago you should keep a few instructions. Given below Check which Tool they used. Check version. List out all imported packages. If they used DB, you can keep running mode while executing the code. Check if all recent updates along with your project ,etc. References: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/benjaminperkins/2017/04/04/setting-up-and-using-github-in-visual-studio-2017/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7XYvYwsW4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUiuIAZt6Dw Good luck.

Hello sir... Thanks a ton for your reply. In my machine, I have .NET CORE 2.2 SDK and the project that I want to open is made using Visual Studio 2017 and .NET CORE 2.1. Could you please guide me on - listing all imported packages ? How do I find that ? The error that I am getting is - " Project file is incomplete. Expected imports are missing. "
