Unable to add "WindowsAzure.Storage" dependency to .Net Core (ASP.NET 5) class library

Question

My project solution is set up this way contains the following projects

MyProjectSolution.sln
    MyProject.WebPI(Asp.net 5 WebAPI)
    MyProject.Data(Asp.net 5 class libray)
    MyProject.Domain(Asp.net 5 class libray)

I followed the steps listed in the articles below https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/vs-azure-tools-connected-services-storage/ and https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/vs-storage-aspnet5-getting-started-blobs/ which changed my project.json to include this dependency "WindowsAzure.Storage": "4.3.2-preview"

but then resulted in an error stating WindowsAzure.Storage is not supported on DNXCoreVersion=5.0

Note: 1) Also I tried adding the above dependency manually to check if it resulted in the same or a different error - no change.

2) I tried browsing to the location of the sdks %Program Files%\Microsoft SDKs\Azure.NET SDK\\ref\ but could not find it. Attached is the screen shot of the dlls I found.

Is there a specific version I can try? or Am i missing something important here?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use 7.0.2-preview

https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsAzure.Storage/7.0.2-preview

According to the changelog, it is updated to use the RC2 release of .Net Core 1.0.

7.1.1-preview was updated for the RTM release of .Net Core 1.0 but currently does not seem to be available via NuGet. (NuGet page says "The owner has unlisted this package. This could mean that the package is deprecated or shouldn't be used anymore.")

Also, note that this contains a dependencies on ODataLib packages for which there currently is no .Net Core version. See this note for WindowsAzure.Storage readme which states:

The ODataLib packages currently do not support "netstandard1.6" or "netcoreapp1.0" frameworks in projects depending on the current relase of Dotnet CoreCLR. Thus, you may encounter failures while trying to restore the ODataLib dependencies for one of the targeted frameworks mentioned above. Until the support is added, if you run into this, you can use the imports statement within the framework node of your project.json file to specify to NuGet that it can restore the packages targeting the framework within the "imports" statement as shown below:

   "imports": [
     "dnxcore50",
     "portable-net451+win8"
   ]

EDIT: Use WindowsAzure.Storage 7.1.3-preview
