I have downloaded and installed .NET Core 5.0 SDK (v5.0.100-preview.1) in my Visual Studio 2019.
But it is not available in Target framework.
Am I missing something?
You need to install the latest preview of Visual Studio 2019 16.8, refer to
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/asp-net-core-updates-in-net-5-preview-1/
You also need to explicitly enable preview versions within Visual Studio itself:
Then you should see it:
Specs: VS Version 16.8.0
Target Version of .Net Core: 5.0
You must have version 16.8.0 in order to have .Net Core 5.0
If you still have problems with Visual Studio not showing .Net Core 5.0 in Visual Studio version 16.8.0 (and assuming you downloaded the .NET Core 5.0 SDK for Visual Studio), well, apparently (and correct me if I'm wrong) it is now called just .Net 5.0, omitting the Core.
After selecting .NET 5.0, I was able to install other libraries which are currently version 5.0+ and dependent on .NET Core 5.0+
Is the new name intentional? Anyways, here some evidence of this working (I was able to install the newest version of Newtonsoft and Entity Framework for .Net Core):
Funny enough, when I try to create a new .Net Core project, the version shows up as expected:
I upgraded my version of Visual studio from 16.7.x to 16.8.1. I expected NET 5 to be listed as a target framework, but it was not.
I had previously created projects in 16.8 preview 6 using RC1.
Visual Studio Install did not list .NET 5 as an individual component either. I then downloaded and installed the x64 SDK. Still no luck. .NET5 was still missing as a target framework for VS 16.8.x
Today I opened VS Installer and from the More dropdown menu selected Repair . The repair process took 25-30 minutes to run, but now .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5 are listed in all the usual places.

Maybe a bit late to the party.
Please note that if you've selected a 'regular' .NET Framework application you won't see the .NET 5.0 Framework option.
This is only visible in .NET Core project styles.
Try to set it in your .csproj file. Right click (maybe unload) and edit (within a PropertyGroup-element):
<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
Targeting .NET 5 (rc2) doesn't work smoothly in VS Version 16.8.0 Preview 6.0
I could only target .NET 5 by manually changing the .csproj file, and adding:
<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
When I wanted to create a solution, .NET 5 was not available, even when I have it installed. What I did to fix this was:
When you are creating the project, select the last version (in my case .NET Core 3.1)
When the project is created, right click on the project and select the Properties option.
In the Application tab, select the Target Framework you want.
I will create a new Project with .NET Core 2.2.
But I can select only .NET Framework Versions.
I installed .NET Core 2.2 and restart the Visual Studio.
Still .NET Core is not available.
I installed the 64bit 2.2.107 version.
When I want to install again I get ask if I want to repair, what is telling me that the installation was successful.
Why I cant choose .NET Core instead of Framework?
I try to load an existing project (not mine) that I get from TFS and I got an error telling me that I need .NET Framework 4.6.1 to load it.
So I downgraded it to 4.6, successfully load it, install .NET Framework 4.6.1 but I can't make my project target on 4.6.1.
The link where I get .NET framework
I'm on Windows 7 and I use Visual Studio Community 2017.
You may need to install the developer pack. It looks like you may have just installed the runtime. You can find the .NET Framework 4.6.1 developer pack here.
I just installed the new release of ASP.Net 5 beta 8. I ran DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi and then WebToolsExtensionsVS14.msi. I tried to open a simple app that worked in beta 7 and it won't load the project with a message
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.00079
I then tried to create a new ASP.Net 5 web project and got this:
The project file 'c:\users\myfolder\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\WebApplication3\src\WebApplication3\WebApplication3.xproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the DotNetVersionManager and WebToolsExtensionsVS14 with the same result.
Fixed it by doing this
Close VS, then delete the folder at %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache and restart – Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi

The easiest way to get started building applications with ASP.NET 5 is to install the latest version of Visual Studio 2015 (including the free Community edition).
Install Visual Studio 2015
Be sure to specify that you want to include the Microsoft Web Developer Tools.
Install ASP.NET 5.
This will install the latest ASP.NET 5 runtime and tooling.
Enable the ASP.NET 5 command-line tools. Open a command-prompt and run:
dnvm upgrade
This will make the default .NET Execution Environment (DNX) active on the path.
On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 you will also need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.
You are all set up and ready to write your first ASP.NET 5 application!
Reference...
I have installed Visual Studio 2012 Express, and .NET Framework 4.5 got installed together.
Now from Visual Studio 2012, also if I target .NET 4.0 (Properties->Application->Target Framework), that doesn't seem to work. (The same happens from Visual Studio 2010, which by the way cannot target 4.5 at all!).
What I have noticed is that if I debug my project, and set a Watch on a SqlConnection variable, I see all the new 4.5 member properties (for example I see SqlConnection.ClientConnectionId property, introduced with .NET 4.5).
So, what is Visual Studio -> Properties -> Application -> Target Framework -> 4.0 supposed to do?
This 'strange' behaviour looks, in fact, perfectly normal when you realize that the installation of .NET Framework 4.5 is a replacement of .NET 4.0.
Look at Stack Overflow answer Can a build server with .NET 4.5 installed successfully deploy a project targeting 4.0 to a server with only .NET 4.0 installed?.
