.Net Framework Toolkit

Common C# app development and shim code for legacy .Net Framework 2.0 projects.

Purpose

I occasionally find myself in restricted development scenarios where I target legacy Windows platforms limited to .Net Framework. So I created this library to aid in maintenance and rapid development under those constraints.

Versioning

This project uses Semantic Versioning.

  • MAJOR version: Incompatible API changes
  • MINOR version: Backward-compatible functionality
  • PATCH version: Backward-compatible bug fixes

Build Requirements

  • The project targets .Net Framework 2.0 but is configured to use the latest language features as of the LTS version of the .NET SDK.

  • The Build project uses Cake (C# Make) as the build orchestrator and can be launched from your IDE or via script.

    • On OSX/Linux run:
      ./build.sh
    • If you get a "Permission denied" error, you may need to make the script executable first:
      chmod +x build.sh
    • On Windows PowerShell run:
      ./build.ps1
