. NET Core App types (portable apps && self-contained apps)

• Introduced

There are many ways to think about the type of application you are building, usually a type used to describe a particular execution model or an application based on it. For example: Console app (console application), Web App (Web application), and more. All of these types of apps can be created with. NET core, which is itself a common development platform. But to give the. NET core cross-platform features,. NET core still needs a corner to explore the type of application, which is called the portability of the app (application's portablility). Portability essentially means where you can run your application and what prerequisites are required to run on a particular machine. Here we describe the portable types that two major. NET cores have.

• Portable Applications

"Dependencies" : {    "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {          "version""1.0.0",        " type""platform"}    },"Frameworks": {      "netcoreapp1.0": {}}

"Microsoft.NETCore.App" is a "meta-packet" that shows you the target. NET Core class library. The "Type:platform" attribute in the dependency means that when publishing, the publishing tool omits to publish these dependent. NET Core class library files because these dependent class library files have been installed on the destination server with. NET Core.
