Error RZ3007: Targeted tag name cannot be null or whitespace

After upgrading to .NET Core 2.0 my 1.1 web application cannot run. I get the error message indicated below. After checking the output I found references to the RZ3007 error which I believe is related to the Razor compiler. The View is not compiling.

Home/Index.cshtml:

I had a couple of view components (LoginStatus and MenuItems) but removed them to try to get this working.

This method worked for me:

  • delete obj and bin folders
  • run dotnet restore
  • run dotnet build

I ended up going over the steps detailed from Microsoft. I then uninstalled Visual Studio completely and reinstalled. Then I created a new web project, set it to target 2.0 and then copied the files from the non-working solution and things started working automatically. I still need to ensure Authentication is configured correctly but things are beginning to fall in line.
