Using .net standard 1.5 lib in .net 4.6.2 misses System.Runtime 4.1.0.0

by

I’ve added a repo that shows you how to do this. From the README.md:

Requirements

Generally speaking, using libraries targeting .NET Standard in an application
targeting .NET Framework requires the application project to include a NuGet
reference for .NET Standard (NETStandard.Library). This ensures that the right
set of assemblies are included with the application.

In Visual Studio 2015, the default way of consuming NuGet packages from .NET
Framework projects is via packages.config. I don’t recommend this path as
this means that all assemblies are directly injected into the application
project, which will significantly bloat your project file. Instead, I recommend
you use project.json. To do this, perform the following steps:

  1. Uninstall all packages (if you’re still using packages.config)
  2. Delete the empty packages.config

  3. Add project.json file with this content:

    json
    {
    "dependencies": {
    "NETStandard.Library": "1.6.0"
    },
    "runtimes": {
    "win": {}
    },
    "frameworks": {
    "net462": {}
    }
    }

Please note that you can generally depend on the latest version of the
NETStandard.Library package, but you need to make sure to keep the framework
moniker in sync with the version of .NET Framework your app is targeting, i.e.
when you’re targeting .NET Framework 4.6.1, you need to make sure to use
net461 instead.

This feels clumsy

Yes it is. We’re planning on addressing this in two ways:

  • We’re replacing project.json with an MSBuild based solution in Visual
    Studio 2017. You’ll still need to add the reference to NETStandard.Library, but
    you no longer have to mess with the way packages are being represented nor
    having to manually keep targeting information in sync.

  • We’re planning to update .NET Framework so that future version of it come with
    built-in support for .NET Standard, in which case the reference will no longer
    be needed.
