Core: System.Web is not available on Core 2.0

[pardhumeduri]

we are using VS2017 15.3 preview 7 and while referring the .Netframework 4.5.1 dll / nuget package in core 2.0 application , we are getting "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Services, Version=4.0.0.0, "

old application was using .net framework 4.5.1 which is a class library and has System.Web.Services name space for manage soap exceptions.

Kindly help.

System.Web is not part of .NET Core: https://apisof.net/catalog/System.Web.Services

@karelz Is there a plan to port it? It seems Xamarin already has it, so shouldn't be that hard to port it to different oses?

@DamianEdwards to speak to any plans to port any part of System.Web.

There is no plan to port any part of System.Web to .NET Core. Can you explain more of what the class library is doing so that we might recommend some different approaches?

[richlander]

I'd suggest running API Port on your codebase so that we can get a better sense of your dependencies. Our API Catalog claims that we have no API Port information for these types.

I'm assuming that these soap exceptions are produced on the server. Yes? We don't have a SOAP server implementation on .NET Core. What would this code do in absence of that?

@richlander, should we move this to corefx or to an aspnet repo so its better on the radar?

[Petermarcu]

Ok, at this point @DamianEdwards has confirmed this is not on the asp.net team's roadmap. If you want to have more discussion on this, I'd suggest opening an issue on the aspnet/home repo. I"m going to close this issue now.
