How to setup SDK version into .NET Core project when global.json is not enough?

I found, from several sources, that the official way to setup SDK version into our .NET Core project is to add a global.json file into the project main folder.

By the way, let me remind some useful cli commands to run into your project folder:

dotnet --list-sdks list all installed SDKs

dotnet new globaljson --sdk-version 2.2.105 create the appropriate global.json file

Now my issue:

global.json is not applied, displayed versions does not match with my global.json

My csproj:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.2</TargetFramework>
    <LangVersion>7.3</LangVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools" Version="2.2.3">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers</IncludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\EmargementsListeners.Application\EmargementsListeners.Application.csproj" />
    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\EmargementsListeners.EmargProviders\Emp.Source.FakeRandomisedXbus\Emp.Source.FakeRandomisedXbus.csproj" />
    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\EmargementsListeners.Persistence\EmargementsListeners.Persistence.csproj" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="appsettings.json">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

My global.json:

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "2.2.105"
  }
}

The result:

Sdk version doesn't match with global.json

As you see, the sdk version does not match with global.json. It should be NetCore.App 2.2.3, not 2.2.0

enter image description here

Placing this global.json into the solution folder gives the same results.

dotnet --info from my project:

dotnet --info

Add

<RuntimeFrameworkVersion>2.2.3</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>

to your .csproj.

Take a look at this question and this one for more information.

If someone comes across this while not getting a .NET Core 3.0 project to open, make sure you have updated Visual Studio to the latest version. This fixed it for me when given the error below:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.2.402\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.WindowsDesktop\Sdk not found. 
Check that a recent enough .NET Core SDK is installed and/or increase the version specified in global.json.
