We are currently in the preview phase of .NET 9 , which releases in Nov 2024 - and if you want to test it extensively like I do, store the preview version in the global configuration global.json . But how do you have to define the version here for it to work?
Wrong
Intuitively, you would assume that you can simply copy and paste the version - but that would be too simple for the .NET world.
1{
2 "sdk": {
3 "version": "9.0.100-preview.5.24306.7"
4 }
5}
Correct
The correct definition is the pure preview version specification.
1{
2 "sdk": {
3 "version": "9.0.100-preview.5"
4 }
5}
