These three runtimes are the same type of thing, but with a different focus. The. NET Framework is used to develop Windows desktop programs, WPF, and ASP. NET Core for developing UWP (Windows Universal Client) and cross-platform ASP. Core site. Xamarin is primarily used to develop a number of cross-platform client programs, like iOS and Android. 、

Different platforms are supported for non-version. NET standard Support as shown in the following scenario:
