Blazor WebAssembly .NET 5 template in Visual Studio 2019

Question

How can I update my Visual Studio Blazor WASM template so the newly created project uses .NET 5? When I create a Blazor WebAssembly project now it is set to .NET Core 3.1 for Server and .NET Standard 2.1 for client?

New template I guess would also have the changes already implemented that was needed to upgrade from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 5.

Answer 1

FYI See the attached screenshot which shows the current Template for Blazor - I ran this this morning on VS 2019 Community 16.8.5.

Note the dropdown at the top for Net5.0 and the Template No in the bottom corner 5.0.3.

Also:

1. Make sure you have 5.0.3 version of DotNetCore installed
2. You are running 16.8.5 Visual Studio
