    Something went wrong and the new SDK 2.1.401 references a version of the Microsoft.NETCore.App that is on a MyGet feed and should not be in a release. This results in programs that compiled before the upgrade to fail. You can 'fix' this with a global.json file which pins the SDK to 2.1.400 (the previous SDK version) or by uninstalling the new SDK. I've made MS aware of the issue, and they are scrambling to rectify the problem, which should not have happened and they admit they screwed up somewhere in the release process.

    Thanks for reminding me why they call it the 'bleeding edge'.

      I had a bug with 15.8.1 and they rushed out a fix that repaired the problem there. With that one, the resource file plug-in wouldn't load so I couldn't edit resource files.

      In 15.8.1 they also broke support for the Italian keyboard layout (fixed in 15.8.2): you couldn't type closing curly braces for the entire month of August :-D I guess it's a good thing it happened in the month during which most of Italy is on vacation! :laugh:

              I'm not using Core yet, so no problem?

              My apologies for the previous sig block. It's been ages since I posted anything on here.

                That's exactly why I said that... strange enough... the dev did it.

                    I was thinking you were alerting us to the crappy UI. VS 15.8.2 freezes a lot and the so-called "Blue (High Contrast)" scheme should be called "Blue (No Contrast)".

                      Thanks for the warning. One recent update killed my Intel compiler so it wouldn't run. I ended up uninstalling it. So much for updates. I guess they fired their QA department and we're the testers instead. Nice going!

                        The Intel Fortran compiler failing with vs 15.8 is Intel's fault (they have admitted it). They did not update their Visual Studio integration for 15.8; it only works for 15.7. They say they are going to fix it "later this year".

                            In case you were wondering how to get Intel Fortran to work under VS2017, you have to uninstall VS 15.8.2 (or .1) and then install VS 15.7.x.
