Trying to get my .net core application to run in visual studio code

Question

My windows hard drive recently bit the dust recently where I was working on an angular 2 .net core application with vs 2015 using .net core 1.1. I have a computer with ubuntu on it so I though why not just download vs code and clone my project and get to work right..... Well I am having problems and hopefully someone can help.

I install c# I install C# extensions. but this is the error I get

Build FAILED. /home/deshazer/Documents/code/HannaOilGas2/HannaOilAndGas2/project.json(1,1): error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1. 0 Warning(s) 1 Error(s) Time Elapsed 00:00:00.06

now my project.json file looks like this

I am also seeing problems with my models and in my controllers I am using web api can anyone help me out with this in vs code?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace HannaOilAndGas2.Data
{
    public partial class MainView
    {
        public int RecId { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public double? SpotFlowRate { get; set; }
        public double? PreviousDayVolume { get; set; }
        public double? LinePressure { get; set; }
        public double? DifferentialPressure { get; set; }
        public double? Temperature { get; set; }
        public double? BatteryVoltage { get; set; }
        public double? Fcp { get; set; }
        public double? Ftp { get; set; }
        public DateTime? Timestamp { get; set; }
        public string LastCommunicationMethod { get; set; }
        public string MeterId { get; set; }
        public string ImportMethod { get; set; }
        public int HannaDeviceId { get; set; }


    }
}

saying type system could not be found and its asking me to put the int to methods eh.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using HannaOilAndGas2.Data;

            return _context.Main_View.Where(x => x.RecId == id);
        }

        // POST api/values
        [HttpPost]
        public void Post([FromBody]string value)
        {
        }

        // PUT api/values/5
        [HttpPut("{id}")]
        public void Put(int id, [FromBody]string value)
        {
        }

        // DELETE api/values/5
        [HttpDelete("{id}")]
        public void Delete(int id)
        {
        }
    }
}

this is saying predefined type system string is not defined or imported netcoreapp1.1 again that is in my project.json please any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Project.json is changed back to .csproj. i would suggest you to migrate your project using

dotnet migrate command

In CLI as you're running in Linux.
