.net Core 2.0 - Package was restored using .NetFramework 4.6.1 instead of target framework .netCore 2.0. The package may not be fully compatible

Question

I have a .net core 2.0 console app. I'm trying to read files from TFS using the following:

How to get a file from TFS directly into memory (i.e., don't want to read from file system into memory)?

I head over to nuget and install Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient and run into this:

Package 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client 5.2.2' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1' instead of the project target framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

Even after suppressing the warning, I still get the error and can't reference the library. How can I get this reference resolving?

Very easy to repro:

1. New .net core 2.0 console app
2. Copy the method from the above question
3. Try to install the nuget package

Answer 1

The package is not fully compatible with dotnetcore 2.0 for now.

eg, for 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client' it maybe supported in version (5.2.4). See Consume new Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client.5.2.4 package for details.

You could try the standard Client package as Federico mentioned.

If that still not work, then as a workaround you can only create a Console App (.Net Framework) instead of the .net core 2.0 console app.

Reference this thread: Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client supported in .NET Core or not?
