[ragavendra]

The Scaffold a controller instructions for VS Code for the .Net 6.0 projects is having issues as some packages were not available for .net6.0 and some 7.0 packages could be installed for the .net6.0 project.

The below tool is not available for .Net6.0

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator

The below command did not work saying no .net 6.0 versions

dotnet add package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design

The below two commands installed the 7.0 version packages for .net6.0 project.

dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design

Just some notes for me to refer back to: Versions 3-6 need to be each set to the specific versions of packages that were targeted for those versions at the time and each retested. When each of those versions for the topic were created, defaulting to the latest work and helped make sure folks had the latest new minor update as it became available later in the year, but that is not reliable once a new major version is reached.

@wadepickett this is not high priority and the fix shouldn't take 3-5 days. Customers that want to run older versions should have that older version SDK installed and not newer versions. At most have a note:

If you're targeting an older version of ASP.NET Core than the SDK installed, append the version number you'd like to install. You can get the version number .....

We need to be working on the 8.0 release, not updating version 3.

Make an include file with the generic instructions and you add the include as needed.
