ASP.NET Core 3: How to reference 3.0.0 assemblies in custom libraries?

Question

I see that applications that reference the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App framework (AKA ASP.NET Core 3.0) uses types from the assembly Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Abstractions, Version=3.0.0.0,

But I can't find a NuGet package with same version 3.0.0 . How should I reference packages now? Eg if I want to override ControlBase , how should I reference the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core, Version=3.0.0.0 assembly if there are no such package versions on NuGet ?

After adding the following:

  <ItemGroup>
    <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
  </ItemGroup>

I have another kind of waning:

Which gives the error:

NETSDK1073 : The FrameworkReference 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.App' was not recognized Routines.AspNetCore C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.0.100\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.FrameworkReferenceResolution.targets 263

Unloading and reloading the application doesn't help.

The same problem occurs in an empty new project:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Compilation

Answer 1

You need to add a FrameworkReference to your csproj

  <ItemGroup>
    <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
  </ItemGroup>
