ASP.NET Core and Blazor updates in .NET Core 3.0 Release Candidate 1
.NET Core 3.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is now available. This release contains only a handful of bug fixes and closely represents what we expect to release for .NET Core 3.0.
Please see the release notes for additional details and known issues.
Get started
To get started with ASP.NET Core in .NET Core 3.0 RC1 install the .NET Core 3.0 RC1 SDK.
If you’re on Windows using Visual Studio, install the latest preview of Visual Studio 2019.
.NET Core 3.0 RC1 requires Visual Studio 2019 16.3 Preview 4 or later.
There is also a Blazor WebAssembly preview update available with this release. This update to Blazor WebAssembly still has a Preview 9 version, but carries an updated build number. This is not a release candidate for Blazor WebAssembly. Blazor WebAssembly isn’t expected to ship as a stable release until some time after .NET Core 3.0 ships (details coming soon!).
To install the latest Blazor WebAssembly template run the following command:
dotnet new -i Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Templates::3.0.0-preview9.19457.4
Upgrade an existing project
To upgrade an existing ASP.NET Core app to .NET Core 3.0 Preview 9, follow the migrations steps in the ASP.NET Core docs.
Please also see the full list of breaking changes in ASP.NET Core 3.0.
To upgrade an existing ASP.NET Core 3.0 Preview 9 project to RC1:
- Update all Microsoft.AspNetCore.* package references to 3.0.0-rc1.19457.4
- Update all Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.* package references to 3.0.0-preview9.19457.4
- Update all Microsoft.Extensions.* package references to 3.0.0-rc1.19456.10
That’s it You should now be all set to use .NET Core 3.0 RC1!

Is there any information about EF Core 3.0 Preview or RC? It recently changes frequently. Will it come out at a stable version with .NET Core 3.0 GA?
Hi, the EF Core 3.0 RC1 announcement is at https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/release-candidate-builds-of-entity-framework-core-3-0-and-entity-framework-6-3-are-now-available/. GA will be at the same time as .NET Core 3.0 and ASP.NET Core 3.0: September 23rd.
The EF Core 3.0 RC1 announcement is not linked from https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/3.0/preview/3.0.0-rc1.md. Does it mean something?
devblogs.microsoft.com is slow to load (for /VisualStudio and individual article pages) if you are logged in, and using Firefox Windows (latest release) or Edge 18 (44.18362.1.0). If I’m not logged in, it loads faster.
Hey Dean,
I apologize for the ongoing slowness for signed in experiences. We are aware and working to improve this. We hope to improve signed in page load times soon.
Can anyone suggest the release date of stable version of Blazor Client Side(Webassembly)?
You also need to update Microsoft.Extensions.* package references, and they have a different version number from the Microsoft.AspNetCore.* packages. Can you list the version for those too for the release announcements?
Done!
