Exception when using ASP.NET Core
I'm trying to use the Dropbox API with an ASP.NET Core application (v1.1.0). It compiles and resolves all the dependencies when doing a "dotnet restore", but when I call one of the Dropbox API method...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the report! I can't seem to reproduce this issue though. Can you let us know the following so we can look into it?
- What platform/version are you running this on?
- What version of the Dropbox API library do you have installed?
- What's the code that causes this exception?
Thanks in advance!

Hi. Thank you for your very quick reply!
I've found the issue. It was because when I created the project, it had this in the project.json
"frameworks": {
"netstandard1.6": {
"imports": "dnxcore50"
}
}
So that was saying that my assembly targets netstandard 1.6, but the 'imports' bit is telling it to lie to the compiler saying that dependencies targeting dnxcore50 will work. Hence why it compiled, but fell over at runtime.
I've fixed the issue by just targeting dnxcore50 instead.
It would be great if Dropbox API targetted the latest dotnet standard though :)

You can still have your library target .NET standard. The SDK package contains a PCL version which is compatible with .NET standard. What you need to do is change imports from dnxcore50 to portable-net45+win8 and add Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility as dependency.Brilliant! This works perfectly. Thanks a lot for your help! :)
