.NET

Lists the third-party software you need to install and configure before you can use the .NET feature of Enterprise Developer.

You need .NET 6 SDK to build applications for .NET or the .NET 6 Run-Time System if you only want to run them.

You can install the .NET 6 SDK separately (for example, if you want to use the dotnet CLI command), or obtain the SDK as part of the Visual Studio 2022 installation.

In addition, you must have installed a version of the .NET SDK. You can install .NET SDK 6 by installing Visual Studio's ".NET SDK" component. If you do not have this component installed, you can install it from Visual Studio by clicking Help > Micro Focus Product Help > Install Missing Feature(s) > .NET Core development .
