Hi! What version of C# for VS Code do you have installed?

[AAndharia]

I have not installed any c# version specifically, i just installed omnisharp plugin.

[DustinCampbell]

I'm not sure what you mean by the "omnisharp plugin". The extension produced by this repo is "C# for Visual Studio Code". You should have this installed:

In addition, could you run dotnet --info at a command prompt and copy-and-paste the output here.

Hi,

I did the same and got the same error message, although I'm using Linux.

Running the --info command provided:

.NET Command Line Tools (1.0.0-preview2-1-003177)

Product Information:
 Version:            1.0.0-preview2-1-003177

Runtime Environment:
 OS Name:     elementary
 OS Version:  0.4
 OS Platform: Linux

I guess this has to do with the following notice: NOTE: The content has been updated for .NET Core 1.0 SDK – RC4 (.csproj based) both LTS (1.0) and Current (1.1) versions - Looks like something doesn't support these csproj files. A workaround would be to install [email protected] instead of the current version.

Hope I could help. If not, I'm sorry. It's my first C# project.

[DustinCampbell]

Note that the .NET Core SDK that you have installed only supports older project.json-based projects.

@AAndharia: Without more information here, I'm unable to help. Could you take a moment to reply to my most recent response to you?

Hi,

I'm stuck with a similar issue.

I have a unity project, generated using Unity VSCode plugin.

My .NET core specs are:

.NET Command Line Tools (1.0.0-preview2-1-003177)

Product Information:
 Version:            1.0.0-preview2-1-003177

Runtime Environment:
 OS Name:     ubuntu
 OS Version:  16.04
 OS Platform: Linux
 RID:         ubuntu.16.04-x64

When I open the project, OmniSharp complains that can't process .csproj files:

...
[warn]: OmniSharp.MSBuild.MSBuildProjectSystem
        Failed to process project file '/path/to/project/Assembly-CSharp.csproj'.

@vonbloom: That's likely a different issue since it's a Unity project. Could you file a separate issue?

[DustinCampbell]

@AAndharia: The problem you're experiencing is "by design" but it's because some bits that you're using are the latest and others aren't. The problem is that you have an older .NET Core SDK which only supports project.json .NET Core projects. However, it sounds like the 'yo aspnet' templates have been updated to create the csproj-based .NET Core projects. So, dotnet restore is failing because it doesn't understand your project file. I recommend installing a newer version of the .NET Core SDK from here which should work with csproj-based .NET Code projects.

[DustinCampbell]

@KarimGeiger: I suspect my comment above describes the problem you're experiencing as well.

[KarimGeiger]

Yes, thank you very much. I think you can close this issue (at least from my point of view).

[DustinCampbell]

OK. I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.

@AAndharia, please let me know if this doesn't solve the issue you're experiencing.
@vonbloom, please file a separate issue. As you're targeting a Unity project, there's almost certainly a different underlying problem.

Thanks all!

@DustinCampbell I had as same as question, now resolved, thanks.

I'm having this issue on Visual Studio Code while running a Unity project.

Failed to load project file 'f:\Unity Projects\Pehli Paheli\Assembly-CSharp.csproj'.

[iluqmansharif]

@DustinCampbell Any help?

[DustinCampbell]

@iluqmansharif : I recommend filing a separate issue rather than reporting a new problem on an issue that's been closed for nine months. Given the amount of time, the problem you're seeing is almost certainly different.
