James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4541:
-------------------------------------------
I'm happy to see any improvements in this space, so go for it.
> Use new project system in "lib/csharp" and define supported platforms
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-4541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4541
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Umbrella
> Components: C# - Library
> Reporter: Christian Weiss
> Priority: Major
>
> As discussed in THRIFT-4535, it would be great if we could update
> "lib/csharp" to use the new "csproj" project system. This will allow us to
> target multiple platforms and the new ".NET Standard" with a single project.
> It's possible to support pretty much every platform there is with this new
> project format (see e.g.
> [Newtonsoft.Json|https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/blob/master/Src/Newtonsoft.Json/Newtonsoft.Json.csproj]),
> however supporting older platforms requires more work as this requires more
> #if statements etc.
> This means that we have to decide which platforms we want to support!
> Targeting ".NET Standard 2.0" would be the easiest option as this versionÂ
> [covers a much larger API
> surface|https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/08/14/announcing-net-standard-2-0/].
> However, this would also mean that people have to use rather recent versions
> of their platforms to use it, as .NET Standard 2.0 requires the following
> minimum versions:
> * .NET 4.6.1 (adding support for .NET 4.5 is no problem though)
> * .NET Core 2.0
> * Mono 5.4
> * Xamarin.iOS 10.14
> * Xamarin.Mac 3.8
> * Xamarin.Android 8.0
> * UWP 10.0.16299
> I will create a PR that targets .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET 4.5 to show what
> the new project files would look like. If the approach is OK for you in
> general, then I can try to add support for whatever minimum versions you'd
> like to support.
