To help reproduce the problem, the following steps are taken to create a .NETStandard1.6 PCL in Visual Studio 2015:
- Create a new Class Library(Portable for iOS, Android and Windows).
- In its Properties page, click "Target .NET Platform Standard".
- Change .NETStandard form .NETStandard1.1 to .NETStandard1.6
- Build this empty project.
The following error occurs:
>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\NuGet\Microsoft.NuGet.targets(140,5): error : Your project is not referencing the ".NETPlatform,Version=v5.0" framework. Add a reference to ".NETPlatform,Version=v5.0" in the "frameworks" section of your project.json, and then re-run NuGet restore.
The following is project.json:
{ "supports": {}, "dependencies": { "Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility": "1.0.1", "NETStandard.Library": "1.6.0" }, "frameworks": { "netstandard1.6": {} } }
Could anyone offer a tip on how to Add a reference to ".NETPlatform,Version=v5.0" in the "frameworks" section? I tried the following:
"donet5.4": {}
"donet5.0": {}
Neither works.
