❔ Net461 Needs Reference to NetStandard 2.0
I'm encountering an error that only gets thrown when executing an app. Building works great. The error says that
System.ValueType is not defined and I need a reference to netstandard 2.0.0.
I am not using anything that relies on netstandard, nor do I know of anywhere that I'm using System.ValueType, yet my app seems to think I am. Any thoughts of where I might look?
I would just add a reference as suggested, but I don't have a .csproj. I have a project.json file which only supports nuget.2 Replies
I think I tracked it down
One workflow returns
Nullable<DateTimeOffset>. I imagine T in Nullable<T> likely has a constraint on System.ValueType
I'll need to find some alternative to DateTimeOffset?. I return null if the invoice does not have a purchase date (that is, it's not paid), or a DateTimeOffset if it has been paid. I suppose I could use DateTimeOffset.MinValue since that will never be a valid date.
Nope, that wasn't quite it but I'm too lazy to put it back now. That was painful
Ok so the plot thickens...
I started removing code to see when it stops erroring.
Using a switch statement results in the same error, but for System.Object rather than System.ValueTypeLooks like nothing has happened here. I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
