Electron.net: .NET Standard compatibility?

[mig42]

Hi,

I'm currently studying how to use Electron.NET inside a Blazor application.

Following this tutorial I'm able to configure the appropriate dependencies in the server project (I'm using a client-side, ASP.NET-hosted solution) and use electronize to start the app and open the main window.

However, I can't use Electron.NET from the Client project. It must use netstandard2.0 as the target framework, and NuGet rejects the ElectronNET.API package when I try to add it:

C:\Users\miguel\Code\blazor\blazorclienthosted\blazorclienthosted.Client
λ  dotnet add package ElectronNET.API --version 5.22.12
  Writing C:\Users\miguel\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpCBC1.tmp

info : Restoring packages for C:\Users\miguel\Code\blazor\blazorclienthosted\blazorclienthosted.Client\blazorclienthosted.Client.csproj...
error: Package ElectronNET.API 5.22.12 is not compatible with netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0). Package ElectronNET.API 5.22.12 supports: netcoreapp2.1 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.1)
error: Package 'ElectronNET.API' is incompatible with 'all' frameworks in project 'C:\Users\miguel\Code\blazor\blazorclienthosted\blazorclienthosted.Client\blazorclienthosted.Client.csproj'.

Is Electron.NET going to be available under .NET Standard 2.0 at some point?

Thanks!

Hi Miguel,

Electron.NET should be used inside the Server project since it is the startup project.
