I created a new ASP.NET Core project using Visual Studio 15.8 Preview 5.0 and the project is .NET Core 2.1.2 based.

The preview version of VS ships with a preview version of .Net Core, but I want to use a release version of the SDK to compile the source.

I tried adding a global.json file in the project directory of my web application proj, but it is not respecting that version that I declared.

So how do I control which version of the SDK is used to compile my project?

Try placing the global.json file in the same directory as the solution file. – Travis Boatman Aug 02 '18 at 21:35
Yeah! That did the trick! – Paul Duer Aug 03 '18 at 03:57
