Drop support for targets below net5.0

Open Tyrrrz opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

The plan is to drop support for targets below net5.0 in the next major bump. Main reasoning is that targeting older frameworks is holding this library back from making use of some of newer features that cannot be reasonably pollyfilled. Additionally, it will simplify the code quite a bit.

This issue is open for discussion if you have any comments or questions.

Please keep the implementation in a way that supports .NETSTANDARD 2.0 Therefore UWP and .NET Framework users can use it too.

The whole point is to no longer support UWP and .NET Framework

The next Youtube hickup is the problem. I do .Net programming in my free time and simply do not have the time to learn the xml stuff. I would like to change the code to Net5, but it is just a hobby for me.

What do you mean by "learn the xml stuff"? You don't have to learn anything new to upgrade to .NET 5.

I have seen only migration tutorials from WPF to Net5 so far, I guess I'm wrong, Winforms with 4.8 can be migrated, too. I have a Winforms Videolink databench app with Youtube Explode which I use very often, I will try to migrate it.

Sorry for my statement above, I'm getting lost in this different versions ;)

Migrating a WPF app should be a matter of updating csproj file (it's easier just to create a new project and then copy over all the other files instead though). Unless you depend on a lot of old 3rd party packages that don't support .NET Core/Standard, but even then they might work.

You should try to follow one of of the migrations guide Microsoft has, it really shouldn't be difficult.

Thanks, I tried the MS migration tool, worked not 100% but quite good. The UI for my project would benefit from going to WPF, but its not easy to start with, despite I use Android Studio for some apps I have programmed for my phone.
Net5 is the way to go for future things, I guess.
