Azure DevOps Server 2020 - Warning NETSDK1182: Targeting .NET 6.0 in Visual Studio 2019 is not supported

In a build pipeline on Azure DevOps Server 2020 I was trying to build a .NET 6 application.

Unfortunately the build failed with the following error message:

##[warning]C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.101\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.DefaultItems.targets(134,5): Warning NETSDK1182: Targeting .NET 6.0 in Visual Studio 2019 is not supported.

I was using the Visual Studio Build task to build my application. Here is the related yaml file:

The problem is that the current version of this task only support Visual Studio  version up 2019 on Azure DevOps Server. Visual Studio 2022 is not yet supported by this build task (at the moment of writing this post).

I worked around this issue by switching to the .NET Core CLI task:

Another option is to download and install the updated Visual Studio Build task manually. You will also need to update your agents to the latest version. If you want to try this approach, check out this post by Jesse Houwing: https://jessehouwing.net/adding-visual-studio-2022-to-azure-devops-server-2020/

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
