    Hi Jan,

     

    The SDK contains a PCL libarary which is compatible with .NET Standard. If you are using project.json you need add portable-net45+win8 to your import section e.g.

     

    "frameworks": { 
    "netstandard1.1": { 
        "imports": [ 
            "portable-net45+win8" 
        ] 
     } 
}

    If your are using .csproj you need add 

    <PackageTargetFallback>portable-net45+win8</PackageTargetFallback>

    under your <Project> element.

     

    Thanks,

    Qiming

Hi Qiming,

 

Yes, this worked. Thank you! I thought this all should work automatically while adding the NuGet. I do not know that much about this area yet. Is there any documentation Dropbox & .NET Standard around where I can read more and also use it in the future when libs get updated?

 

Best regards

Jan
