Use .net core DLL in Framework 4.6 project

Question

I have built a DLL in .net core 2.0 and I now want to use it in a WinForms-project using the .net 4.6.1-framework.

I can reference the dll but I get a "System.IO.FileLoadException" which says that "System.Runtime, Version 4.2.0.0" could not be found.

What's the standard way to integrate a .net core 2.0-DLL in a full-framework-project?

Answer 1

According to MSDN you should reference .Net Standard and to reference .Net Standard 2.0 library you should have a project on .Net Framework 4.6.1 or higher and installed .Net Core 2.0 SDK.

You should change target framework to 4.6.1 of your WinForms project and install .Net Core SDK.
