Migration to Visual Studio 2017 #2690

Hi everyone,

I downloaded a current version of the ASP.NET Boilerplate (ASP.NET Core) template with module zero and opened it in Visual Studio 2017. The solution successfully migrates to the new Visual Studio project format. But when I try to compile the solution I get the following error in the web project (AuthenticationManagerExtensions):

The type or namespace name 'Claims' does not exist in the namespace 'System.IdentityModel' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

What I have to consider when I will open the ASP.NET Boilerplate solution in Visual Studio 2017? Is that framework even compatible with Visual Studio 2017?

Thanks for help!

    Just wanted to say I am also having this issue. Everything migrates over just fine, but will not build.

    Of course there is no way to add this reference since this reference should automatically be included in anything targeting .NET 4.5 (Target Framework is 4.6.1). I have tried a complete rebuild and packages have no issues restoring.

    I'll open up an issue on GitHub and reference this post and provide a bit more info.
