Description

After upgrading to Visual Studio v15.8, which comes with .net core SDK v2.1.4, I’ve been trying to publish my WebAPI in a Framework Dependent way, but it only generates the Self Contained way, with over 200 files.

@peterhuene Thank you for writing such a clean and informative commit history for future SDK engineers ❤️

@TatiTheFreaK another workaround if you don’t want to edit your project file is to publish with dotnet publish -f netcoreapp2.0 -c Release --self-contained false. The bug is that SelfContained should be implicitly set to false, but it’s actually an empty string with the 2.1.4xx SDK. I have a fix ready that we hope to get into a 2.1.4xx servicing release. Thanks very much for reporting this issue to us!
