Make NsqSharp .Net Core compatible

[michiski]

Hi, are there any plans to make your project .Net Core compatible?

[judwhite]

@michiski Yes, if it's possible without interfering too much with the regular .NET build. I still need to get up to speed on the latest with .NET Core. Last time I spoke with someone from Microsoft they were planning on adding support for ServiceBase but it wasn't ready yet; not sure how that's changed.

Hi,

Are there any chance for this enhancement to be implemented in the coming months? I may have a need for an NSQ driver for a .NET Core 2.0 / .NET Standard 2.0 project.

As for ServiceBase, since this is a Windows-only feature, it probably never will be a part of neither .NET Core 2.0 nor .NET Standard 2.0. My suggestion would be to split the NsqSharp project into two sub-projects (driver and bus) but this may be quite some work for you...

ServiceBase is going to be made available (for Windows only) in .NET Core through the Windows Compatibility Pack, scheduled to be released together with .NET Core 2.1

@matteocontrini Thanks. Glad to see it's going to make it for Windows eventually. I'll probably end up doing something like https://github.com/judwhite/go-svc/blob/master/svc/svc_other.go and https://github.com/judwhite/go-svc/blob/master/svc/svc_windows.go with build tags to get a common interface across platforms, or use a plugin-like approach to achieve the same goal.

@crazybert has PR #91 started for .NET Core support.

Hey @judwhite , are there any blockers to have a compilation target for .Net Core here still? We are facing a warning in one of our core projects due to this problem:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning NU1701 Package 'NsqSharp 0.5.4' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1' instead of the project target framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.
