How can I use .NET Core in C# interactive?

Question

How can I make the C# interactive console inside Visual Studio use .NET Core instead of .NET Framework?

By default when it starts it shows that it is using .NET Framework in parenthesis in the title bar.

In Visual Studio 2019 16.8.3 (and probably in earlier versions, but I don't know how much earlier) you can execute:

#reset core

This resets the C# interactive console and makes it use .NET Core.

How can you make this the default? – Joel Mueller Feb 25 '21 at 17:15

@JoelMueller you can switch back to .NET Framework with `#reset 32|64` – Selim Balci Sep 01 '21 at 09:33
thanks for the answer. It seems like it only works if you run `csi` through VS. Not if you try it direct – Bakhshi Jun 30 '22 at 03:19
