Traditionally, .NET apps targeted a certain version of a .NET implementation, e.g. .NET Framework 4.6. [5] [6] Starting with the .NET Standard, an app can target a version of the .NET Standard and then it could be used (without recompiling) by any implementation that supports that level of the standard. This enables portability across different ...
