Cannot create C# iot edge module in vscode

Question

When I try to create a C# module in vscode using ctrl+shift+p and 'Azure IoT Edge: Add IoT Edge Module', I get the following error message:

I checked again to make sure all the prerequisites are installed correctly. According to Azure IoT Edge for Visual Studio code documentation, the following must be met.

• .NET Core 2.1 SDK or higher. (.NET Core 3.0 SDK or higher is required for ARM64 (Preview) support. Please see the instructions here for more details).
• C# for Visual Studio Code (powered by OmniSharp) Extension
• Requirements for the Azure IoT Edge extension --> which are (Docker, Python and Pip and iotedgehubdev)

.Net Core 2.1 SDK >

C# for Visual Studio Code

Docker

Python and Pip

iotedgehubdev

Can anybody help?

I solved it

first updated to 3.1.1:
dotnet new --install Microsoft.Azure.IoT.Edge.Module::3.1.1

vscode restart
dotnet new aziotedgemodule -n "YourModuleName" -r localhost:5000/YourModuleName
