Support for .Net Standard

[trembon]

Hello,
Are there any plans to support .Net Standard?
I tried to change the project to Standard 2.0 and added the MySql.Data 8.0.10-rc reference from Nuget without any compiler errors, but havent tested it yet.
So at first glance, there seems to be no code changes need to be made.

Yes sure, the coding used in MySqlBackup.NET is common C# methods and basic syntax. It is backward compatible supports .NET 2.0 as well as forward compatible until .NET Standard 2.0 and even future version.

I'll release the binary of .Net Standard at later time.

I faced a problem converting the code into .Net Standard 1.3
System.Timers does not exist in .NET Standard
some search in Google tells that System.Timers has to be replaced by System.Threading.Timers
and the coding is slightly different.
I will release .NET Standard version at a later time if I have solved the problem.

Can you just use .NetStandard2.0?

Can you just use .NetStandard2.0?

Sure

Hey adriancs2,
do you have any idea, when you will release the .NetStandard-Lib on Nuget?
Thanks kl1mm

[kl1mm]

excuse the renewed disturbing but are you still planning the .NetStandard implementation and the release on nuget?

i finally got some time to help you look into this.
i managed to convert to project to .Net Standard 2.0 and it compiled without any warnings.
Are you sure you have to converted the projects to 2.0?
If you have problems i can see if i can find time to do a PR with a raw upgrade of the two projects

[adriancs2]

Yes, you're welcome

[adriancs2]

@StevenLiSiwei Hi bro, the version of .NET Standard 2.0 is published at Nuget a few minutes ago at the time of writing this. You may check it out.

Hi sir @adriancs2 i've been a fan of your work and really wanted to use the MySqlBackup.NET you did . but i am having trouble

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileLoadException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'MySqlBackup, Version=6.9.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. A strongly-named assembly is required. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131044)

At first everything is working fine until i tried to "Publish" my work and that's where the error started i can not debug after making a publish -- i tried to remove add again and try the files you have in the folder but no luck -- how can i make it work again, i am not very pro when it comes to programming and i am just still exploring thank you :)

Details :
VB.NET
Visual Studio Pro 2015
Net Framework : 4.5
MySQL Connector : v6.9.8

@iamjohnpalencia go to properties of 'MySqlBackup' DLL and set Copy Local = True and then try publish again. Also make sure that DLL is including or not while publishing your project.

[adriancs2]

Yes, @iamjohnpalencia , you try out @sridhargoshika 's suggestion first and see if the problem get solved or not :)

[iamjohnpalencia]

Hello good day :) thank you for the response, unfortunately i did that already but the issue has not been solved. I think the issue is the MySql.data i think it does not have the terms or keyword you have used in Mysqlbackup.net

Scenario : When i use the MySql.data included in sir @adriancs2 's package -- it runs but it can't be publish saying MySql.data is not official or something like that. but the MySqlBackup.net is fine (not pointing as the cause of error) but when i use the official MySql.data from Oracle its pointing to the MySqlbackup.net so i think the cause of the problem is the Mysql.data

I just want to ask - is the Mysql.data included in the zip file of sir @adriancs2 is somewhat modified or not :) thanks a lot :) and i really admire pro_programmers like you guys <3

[adriancs2]

I did not modify MySQL.Data.DLL.
Your problem might be one of the causes below:

1. Different target build platform of x64 bit or x86 bit.
2. Your application build setup requires referenced DLL must be signed too (strong name). All the releases of MySqlBackup.NET are not signed. Therefore, I think you can try to recompile MySqlBackup.NET by signing it. You can try download the source code of MySql.Data.DLL which contains a Strong Name Key File (ConnectorNetPublicKey.snk) that you can used to sign MySqlBackup.NET.
