1. Install .NET Core 3

Azure Functions v3 runs on .NET Core 3.

To install .NET Core 3, visit Download .NET Core.

I recommend selecting the latest LTS version. LTS stands for Long Term Support, meaning that Microsoft is committed to supporting this specific version of .NET Core with bug fixes for approximately 2-3 years.

As of today, the current LTS version of .NET Core is .NET Core 3.1.

2. Update the CSPROJ

Let's ensure our csproj file has been updated for Azure Functions v3.

By default, Azure VPN Client works with Azure AD. To get started, sign up for Azure VPN Client using an account in your instance of Azure AD. Enterprise Single Sign-On - Azure Active Directory supports rich enterprise-class single sign-on with Azure VPN Client out of the box. Download Azure Information Protection and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. ‎Azure Information Protection app enables you to securely collaborate with others. You can view protected files (Rights protected email messages, PDF files, pictures, text files, and any other file format that is protected as a.pfile) that others have. Install the Azure Information Protection unified labeling viewer (AzInfoProtectionViewerUL.exe) rather than the Azure Information Protection viewer (AzInfoProtectionViewer.exe) unless you need to save changes to.pfiles, or your organization uses AD RMS without the mobile device extension. In these rare scenarios, install the Azure Information Protection viewer.

We'll need to set the following three things:

Target Framework is netcoreapp3.1 (or higher)
Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions NuGet Package is v3.0.1 (or higher)
AzureFunctionsVersion is v3

Here is an example from my GitTrends app: https://github.com/brminnick/GitTrends/blob/master/GitTrends.Functions/GitTrends.Functions.csproj
