You create a project for a COBOL application that will be deployed to .NET Core in essentially the same way that you create
a project for any other COBOL application; the only difference is in the project template that you use. For a COBOL application
that is to be deployed to .NET Core you must use one of the templates that are under
in the
New Project dialog box.
Note: The project templates for .NET Core are not installed automatically with
Enterprise Developer. If the
.NET Core option does not appear as expected under
, you must install them before proceeding. See
To install missing features from the IDE for instructions.
To create a .NET Core project
- Click
.
- In the
New Project dialog box, expand
.
Note: If there is no
option you need to install Visual Studio's ".NET Core cross-platform development" component. See the
.NET Core section of
Additional Software Requirements for more information.
- In the center pane, select
Console App (.NET Core) or
Class Library (.NET Core) as appropriate.
- In the
Name field, type a name for the project.
- In the
Location field, browse to the directory in which to store the project.
- Click
OK.
Note: The project is created to target .NET Core 2.1. If you have installed a different version of the .NET Core SDK and want the
project to create a COBOL application for deployment to a version of .NET Core other than 2.1 you can specify the different
version using
Target framework in the project's properties.
