Removed support for .Net version 4.5?
DallasLewis1996 opened this issue · comments
Hello,
I'm sorry if i'm just not understanding, but is there a reason support for this was removed? I'm currently trying to build a website using the steam API, and your library would help, as i'm not a very strong coder. Is there something that I can do on my end to make this work for me?
The library is compiled against the .NET Standard 2.0 and supports all platforms which target that standard.
According to Microsoft, this library will work if your project targets .NET 4.6.1+, .NET Core 2.0, or other less common targets.
It should just be a matter targeting one of the supported frameworks in your project and using the nuget install commands as described in the README of this project.
Oh, wow. Sorry the misunderstanding.
So... I have updated my existing project to target .NET Framework 4.6.1 and I was still unable to install the library. For testing purposes I created a new project that targeted this framework from the start, and it still not work. I'll attach a screenshot of the project in hopes you'll see what i'm doing wrong.
I created a new Console Application using VS2017 and made sure that it targets .NET 4.6.1.
I then typed install-package SteamWebAPI2 in the Package Manager Console.
Here's the results:

Okay, well, this is a post from January so I'm surprised it still hasn't been resolved. I'm experiencing the same problem as OP and regardless of whether I create an entirely new project targeting 4.6.1, or I upgrade/downgrade an existing project to that framework -- installing using Nuget does not work.
`Install-Package : Could not install package 'SteamWebAPI2 4.0.8'. You are
trying to install this package into a project that targets
'.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1', but the package does not contain any assembly
references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more
information, contact the package author.

I'll probably just get a copy of the source code and add it but it's rather odd how this works for you but not for us.
Please understand that this is a library that I work on in my free time between a full time job and parenting duties.
Are you using Visual Studio 2017? What type of project are you creating? Web app? Console app? Please provide some more exact specifics so I can hope to reproduce the issue.
Hey, Babelshift. Long time no see. I haven't touched your API since I created this post since I was just using it for a College Project. Want me to close this to get it out of your hair? :)
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and a regular console application. Not using .NET Core. It's fairly confusing since there's nothing we're doing differently. Or at least, that's what it looks like.
I do apologize if I came over hasty. I just meant to say that I was surprised that the issue OP was having was not something temporary.
