visual studio 2017 publish asp.net core

Question

I have Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise 15.3.2 and rather old project made in dotnet core 1.1.

If I publish my project in console using 'dotnet publish ....' It works perfectly.

But when I use Visual Studio, I can restore, build, run my project absolutely without problems. Only an issue I have when I try to publish using 'Publish..' context menu in the project. I publish the project simply into the folder.

Once I make publishing I have suddenly a error and cannot assembly a project. Here is a error I have:

System.InvalidCastException: [A]NuGet.ProjectModel.LockFile cannot be cast to [B]NuGet.ProjectModel.LockFile. Type A originates from 'NuGet.ProjectModel, Version=4.3.0.5, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' in the context 'LoadFrom' at location 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.0.0\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\tools\net46\NuGet.ProjectModel.dll'.

Answer 1

Another way is:

Simply delete/rename global.json file from your Core 2.0 project :) .

Answer 2

I found a solution. In global.json change sdk version for:

"sdk": { "version": "2.0.0" },
