Default templates for dotnet new

When you install the .NET SDK, you receive over a dozen built-in templates for creating projects and files, including console apps, class libraries, unit test projects, ASP.NET Core apps (including Angular and React projects), and configuration files. To list the built-in templates, run the dotnet new list command:

dotnet new list

Template options

The templates that ship with the .NET SDK has template-specific options. To show the additional options available for the template, use the --help option with the template name argument, for example: dotnet new console --help. The template-specific sections in this article also describe the options.

If the template supports multiple programming languages, the --help option will show help for the template in the default language. By combining it with the --language option, you can see the help for other languages: dotnet new console --help --language F#.

Preinstalled templates

The following table shows the templates that come preinstalled with the .NET SDK. The default language for the template is shown inside brackets. To see any template-specific options, select the short name link.

buildprops

Creates a Directory.Build.props file for customizing MSBuild properties for an entire folder tree. For more information, see Customize your build.

  • --inherit

    If specified, adds an Import element for the closest Directory.Build.props file in the parent directory hierarchy. By default, Directory.Build.props files don't inherit from parent directories, so enabling this option allows you to build up a hierarchy of customizations folder-by-folder.

  • --use-artifacts

    If specified, adds a property to enable the artifacts output layout. This is a common pattern for projects that produce build artifacts, such as NuGet packages, that are placed in a common folder structure. For more information, see Artifacts output layout.


buildtargets

Creates a Directory.Build.targets file for customizing MSBuild targets and tasks for an entire folder tree. For more information, see Customize your build.

  • --inherit

    If specified, adds an Import element for the closest Directory.Build.targets file in the parent directory hierarchy. By default, Directory.Build.targets files don't inherit from parent directories, so enabling this option allows you to build up a hierarchy of customizations folder-by-folder.


console

  • -f|--framework <FRAMEWORK>

    Specifies the framework to target. Available since .NET Core 3.0 SDK.

    The following table lists the default values according to the SDK version you're using:

    SDK version Default value
    9.0 net9.0
    8.0 net8.0
    7.0 net7.0

    The ability to create a project for an earlier TFM depends on having that version of the SDK installed. For example, if you have only the .NET 9 SDK installed, then the only value available for --framework is net9.0. If, for example, you install the .NET 8 SDK, the value net8.0 becomes available for --framework. So by specifying --framework net8.0 you can target .NET 8 even while running dotnet new in the .NET 9 SDK.

    Alternatively, to create a project that targets a framework earlier than the SDK that you're using, you might be able to do it by installing the NuGet package for the template. Common, web, and SPA project types use different packages per target framework moniker (TFM). For example, to create a console project that targets netcoreapp1.0, run dotnet new install on Microsoft.DotNet.Common.ProjectTemplates.1.x.

  • --langVersion <VERSION_NUMBER>

    Sets the LangVersion property in the created project file. For example, use --langVersion 7.3 to use C# 7.3. Not supported for F#.

  • --no-restore

    If specified, doesn't execute an implicit restore during project creation.

  • --use-program-main

    If specified, an explicit Program class and Main method will be used instead of top-level statements. Available since .NET SDK 6.0.300. Default value: false. Available only for C#.

    To create a project that targets a framework earlier than the SDK that you're using, see --framework for console projects earlier in this article.

  • --langVersion <VERSION_NUMBER>

    Sets the LangVersion property in the created project file. For example, use --langVersion 7.3 to use C# 7.3. Not supported for F#.

    For a list of default C# versions, see Defaults.

  • --no-restore

    Doesn't execute an implicit restore during project creation.


wpf, wpflib, wpfcustomcontrollib, wpfusercontrollib

    For a list of default C# versions, see Defaults.

  • --no-restore

    Doesn't execute an implicit restore during project creation.


winforms, winformslib

  • --no-restore

    Doesn't execute an implicit restore during project creation.

  • --use-program-main

mstest

  • -f|--framework <FRAMEWORK>

    Specifies the framework to target.

    The following table lists the default values according to the SDK version number you're using:

    SDK version Default value
    9.0 net9.0
