❔ Compatibility Issues between Rider and Visual Studio?

Do anyone know about possible compatibility issues when creating a project in rider? And then opening it in Visual Studio? A little background. We have a new project that was created in Rider, however people using visual studio receives error upon trying to compile it. Mostly "Namespace or types cannot be found" type of stuff. I have no idea what information to provide, since I am confused about the problem myself, is it a possible mismatch between visual studio .csproj files and riders? And hint or help would be welcome!

I think rider uses the normal „dotnet new“ templates from microsoft. So there shouldn’t be any problem

There is quite a lot of errors, but most of them I believe are related to a nuget package Xrm.SDK. I cannot see the reference when I right click on a project see the references from the GUI, but I can see it in the .csproj file

 <Reference Include="Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
      <HintPath>..\..\path\to\dll\Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies.9.0.2.49\lib\net462\Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>

That's a .net framework csproj

At closer inspection it seems that visual studio is referencing a path that is non existing, however rider isn't throwing up because of it, but only throwing warnings I know, but it seems like rider somehow just throws an error if it is referencing a wrong path?

Any particular reason you're using the really old .net framework for a new project?

Steven.BaskerOP•2y ago

Yeah, it's an old version we're working on, and newer stuff isn't supported by the server

ouch

Steven.BaskerOP•2y ago

Yeah, it's a bummer, but what can you do? 🥲 Anyway thanks for the help guys.
