How to make my .NET Core 5 application compile with .NET Core 5 in VS 2022?-CodePudding

I have a .NET Core 5 console application:

<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>

When I compile it in VS2022, it seems to use .NET Core 7 to do so, because I see this in the build output:

1>C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.100-rc.2.22477.23\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.RuntimeIdentifierInference.targets(257,5):

message NETSDK1057: You are using a preview version of .NET. See: https://aka.ms/dotnet-support-policy

How can I tell Visual Studio to use .NET Core 5 to compile this project?

.NET 5 is installed on my machine:

PS B:\...> dotnet --list-sdks
5.0.413 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
7.0.100-rc.2.22477.23 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

_{Yes, I'm aware that .NET Core 5 is outdated.}

_{Exact version is Visual Studio 2022 17.4.0 Preview 6}

Set a global.json file along side your solution file specifying which SDK version you want to use.

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "5.0.413",
    "rollForward": "latestFeature"
  }
}
