You can use the .NET Standard target for any version of .NET. Is there some particular reason you need a version that targets .NET 6 or above?

Hi, Let's look at what your library presents to a developer upfront

.NET Framework 4.5 | .NET Standard 2.0 | .NET Core 5.0

  • .NET Framework 4.5 is already EOL

  • .NET Core 5.0 is already EOL

.NET Standard is just a spec of specific APIs, with nothing guaranteeing security or support from Microsoft. The only guarantee is the API will work on .NET Framework and .NET.

So your package does not support any currently supported frameworks ie 4.7 up and.NET6.

So as a potential user of the package should I use your package on the information provided? I believe the idea behind the package is good. It just need to be supported on an active longterm service release before anyone should think about adopting it.

EDIT: Remove incorrect information about dot net standard ref

Also as an aside point is your library truly .NET STANDARD 2.0

.NET Standard 2.0 guarantees compatibility with 4.6.1 and up. Your library supports 4.5 which is not covered by .NET Standard 2.0
