Default ASP.NET MVC Project Failure

[ardalis]

I'm trying to run the tool against a default ASP.NET MVC (.NET 4.6.1) project but it's failing during project conversion to SDK style. The issue appears to be the reference to System.Web. The failure occurs during try-convert. For the initial documentation, what should the guidance be for this step in the process?

The try-convert output says that this failure is because Try-Convert encountered unrecognized custom imports (Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.props). If you remove that, it should work. I'm working on updating try-convert so that that change isn't necessary.

I'm able to get past this issue by removing the props file reference near the very top of the project file and the System.Web reference. Just doing that, even while leaving many other System.Web.* references, was sufficient.

Thanks for checking. I have a fix for this in try-convert PR dotnet/try-convert#378. Once that's merged and an updated try-convert is published (hopefully today) we should try this scenario again.

@mjrousos I believe this is fixed now with the latest try-convert update. Feel free to close.
