how to remove message "You are working with a preview version of the .NET Core SDK"

Question

When I rebuild solution, message appears

    You are working with a preview version of the .NET Core SDK. You can define the SDK version via a global.json file in the current project

I created a global.json containing

    {
        "sdk": {
            "version": "2.1.4"
        }
    }

Then in cli,

    dotnet --version

outputs

    2.1.4

Then in cli,

    dotnet --list-sdks

outputs

    2.1.4 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.100 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.101 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.102 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.103 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.104 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.200-preview-007474 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.200-preview-007576 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.200 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
    2.1.300-preview2-008533 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

In my .csproj

<PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <Folder Include="wwwroot\" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.8" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design" Version="2.0.4" />
    <PackageReference Include="NLog.Web.AspNetCore" Version="4.5.4" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <Content Update="nlog.config">
        <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </Content>
</ItemGroup>

After changing the dotnet version by doing the above, I still get the message when I rebuild solution. How do I change the current version of .net core sdk I am using and remove that annoying message?

See this PR on github: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/2042

Basically you could do the following in your .csproj file:

<PropertyGroup>
   <SuppressNETCoreSdkPreviewMessage>true</SuppressNETCoreSdkPreviewMessage>
</PropertyGroup>
