    I am working on a WebApi using ASP NET 5. I have previously made libraries that I would like to use as references in this project. When I try to add the project as an existing project and then add it as a reference I get an error saying Dependency "name of project" >= 1.0.0-* could not be resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For questions about ASP.Net, you are more likely to get help at forums.asp.net.

    you can add the assembly if it available in GAC like below code

    "frameworks": {
    "aspnet50": {
        "frameworkAssemblies": {
            "Stimulsoft.Report": ""
        }
    }
}

    in the second part, you can give the version and type of the assembly

    One workaround is to create a class library project with your 3rd party library reference. Then use a project reference from your website to the class library project.

    Edit: Use a traditional class library, not an ASP.Net 5 class library.

    Also:

    (1) Package your assembly with nuget
    (2) Follow the @AndersNS answer talking about nuget repository
