.NET Core.csproj output path not working correctly

Question

I am using Visual Studio 14 (VS 2015) Update 3, and I want to create a REST API based on .Net Core 1, using Kestrel as a server.

I want to use .csproj instead of the old .xproj to use MSBuild, as in other projects. For this, I used the textbook that they have .

The problem is that when I define "OutputPath" as "bin \ Debug" (for example, for Debug mode), Visual Studio creates the project and sets the build results to "bin \ Debug \\ bin \ Debug \ netcoreapp1". 0 \ win7-x64 ".

If I use .xproj and build, the results are stored in "bin \ Debug \ netcoreapp1.0", which is the expected behavior.

What's happening?

.csproj:

Answer 1

Use <AppendTargetFrameworkToOutputPath>false</AppendTargetFrameworkToOutputPath>
