Your project does not reference ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2" framework

After playing around with the dotnet upgrade assistant(see this previous post) I did an undo of the changes that were made by the tool through source control. However after doing that my code refused to compile.

Here is the error message I got:

Your project does not reference ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2" framework. Add a reference to ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2" in the "TargetFrameworks" property of your project file and then re-run NuGet restore.

When I took a look at my project settings, I didn’t see something wrong…

I tried a ‘Clean Solution’, didn’t help…

I deleted the bin folder and did a ‘Rebuild’ of the solution, didn’t help either…

In the end what did the trick was to remove the obj folder for every project. Once the folder was removed, the error disappeared when I recompiled the application.

Strange!

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…
