Project '..\someProject.csproj' targets 'netcoreapp2.2'. It cannot be referenced by a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.8'

Question

I am trying to build a project with below versions -

<PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworks>net48;net5.0</TargetFrameworks>
</PropertyGroup>

In this project, there is a reference project which also targets the same version .

When I try to build the project I get the below error -

Please help me to resolve this.

Observation - When I try to build these projects separately for both 4.8 and 5.0 they compile without errors .

TIA

Answer 1

It seems like you are referencing a library with a different .net version. Try finding another (version of the) library that uses .netframework 4.8

Answer 2

.net core version 2.2 is not compatible with .net framework 4.8.

You can low you project to .net core 2.1 that is stil compatible.
