✅ Which dll do I need to load for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder WebApplication Class to be loaded?
Hi, I'm trying to get the .NET framework loaded without relying on Nuget.
Which 
dll do I need to load using Assembly.Load in order for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder WebApplication to be available?
I tried all dll's under /usr/lib/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/6.0.13/ without any success.
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder WebApplicationBuilder is found though 25 Replies
For anyone interested, the reason why I'm not using nuget is because I'm using C# and .NET 6 from https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr (clojure-clr, a functional programming language that runs on the clr. The tooling is a bit meh but we can fix that!)
I think you need to load all packages from a metapackage
you won't be able to fix the tooling for a general case
all of .net ecosystem is tied to msbuild, to replicate that you'll need to replicate msbuild

you're not wrong, but it probably loads a dozen more besides that one

Sounds to me like it would be easier to make clojure-clr compatible with msbuild than to build some own tooling

It's xml at least, it can be parsed

Well, yeah the dll I need to load must be somewhere in /usr/share/dotnet/sdk/6.0.405/. Ur screenshots are helpful (I need to install Rider of Visual Studio for this digging :D)
I've loaded all dll's under /usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/6.0.13/ and it still can't be found, hmm.
I was guessing that the above manifests were looking there.
Current status, loaded all dll's under:
/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/6.0.13/
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder WebApplication can still not load.
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder WebApplicationBuilder works fine
According to
packs/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Ref/6.0.13/ref/net6.0/Microsoft.AspNetCore.xml the Microsoft.AspNetCore.dll should contain that the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder WebApplication classWas this issue resolved? If so, run
/close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.@TeBeConsulting I resolved the issue. The issue all along was that I was calling:
Assembly.LoadFile instead of Assembly.LoadFrom
