I have upgraded my application to asp.net core 2.0 and now my taghelpers are not rendering. I have made no change in my code. Below is my _ViewImport.cshtml and labeltaghelper.cs. Also while doing build I am getting warning

'Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.TagHelpers 6.0.0-rc1-final' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1' instead of the project target framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0'

_ViewImport.cshtml

@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
@addTagHelper *, IntegraPay.RegistrationApplication

LabelTagHelper.cs

using IntegraPay.Domain.SObjects;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Rendering;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.TagHelpers;

namespace IntegraPay.RegistrationApplication.TagHelpers
{
    [HtmlTargetElement("label", Attributes = FieldContentMetaData)]
    public class LabelTagHelper : TagHelper
    {
        private const string FieldContentMetaData = "tag-FieldMetaData";

        [HtmlAttributeName(FieldContentMetaData)]
        public WebFormFieldContent FieldContent { get; set; }
        private TagBuilder AnchorBuilder { get; set; } = new TagBuilder("a");
        private TagBuilder asteriskBuilder { get; set; } = new TagBuilder("span");
        private void CreateAsteriskIcon()
        {
            asteriskBuilder.Attributes.Add("class", "asteriskStyle");
            asteriskBuilder.InnerHtml.Append("*");
        }
        public override void Process(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output)
        {
            if (FieldContent.Required__c)
            {
                CreateAsteriskIcon();
                output.PreElement.AppendHtml(asteriskBuilder);
            }
            if (FieldContent.Visible__c)
            {
                output.Content.SetHtmlContent(FieldContent.Label_Override__c);
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(FieldContent.Field_Description__c))
                {
                    GenerateAnchorToolTipTag();
                    output.Content.AppendHtml(" ");
                    output.Content.AppendHtml(AnchorBuilder);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                output.Attributes.Add("class", "ControlIsVisible");
            }
            base.Process(context, output);
        }

        private void GenerateAnchorToolTipTag()
        {
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(FieldContent.Field_Description__c))
            {
                AnchorBuilder.Attributes.Add("data-toggle", "tooltip");
                AnchorBuilder.Attributes.Add("data-placement", "right");
                AnchorBuilder.Attributes.Add("data-original-title", FieldContent.Field_Description__c);
                string iclass = "ip fa fa-question-circle-o";
                AnchorBuilder.InnerHtml.AppendHtml($"<i class='{iclass}' aria-hidden='true'></i>");
            }
        }
    }

Can you share your csproj? – Cake or Death
Added csproj.... – maxspan
Not sure if it will help, but you should rename the PackageTargetFallback node and property to AssetTargetFallback as part of upgrading to 2.0. See docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/migration/1x-to-2x/… – Cake or Death
thanks but still not working – maxspan

In your .csproj file, you are using the preview NuGet package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.TagHelpers. It has been superseded by Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers.

You also have other pre-release packages in your project. I suggest reviewing all dependencies and first attempting the latest version, then downgrading as appropriate if you get any conflict warnings.

It was a namespace name issue. The P in IntegraPay needs to be in lower case.

FROM

   @addTagHelper *, IntegraPay.RegistrationApplication

TO

@addTagHelper *, Integrapay.RegistrationApplication
