Add support for .Net Core

[samjudson]

Should be easy?

[OgreBearing]

I would also like to see this support. The biggest hurdle that I could see would be if you are using other dependencies tht don't yet support .NET core

I tried to do it on my own. My solution works for operations that I need (OAuthGetAccessToken, AuthOAuthCheckToken, PeopleGetGroups, PhotosetsGetList, GalleriesGetList, TagsGetListUser, UploadPicture, PhotosLicensesSetLicense, GalleriesAddPhoto, PhotosetsAddPhoto, GroupsPoolsAdd).
Rewriting of 2-3 functions to use HttpClient instead of WebClient was the most difficult part.

Feel free to ask me if somebody needs any help with this.

[samjudson]

Any chance you could share your code. I'm most interested in the security stuff (the signature generation etc) as I don't know if this is the same in .Net core as in other versions of the framework.

[ValeraT1982]

I can send copy of the project by mail or give you access to my project on Bitbucket.
It looks like that security stuff is the same in Core, because I do not remember any changes connected with security or signatures.

Any update/progress on this? I'd love to have the .NET Core support as well.

Just to say I have checked a version that works on .Net Core (.net standard 1.3 library) so if someone could give it a go and let me know if there are any issues perhaps?

@samjudson: I just dropped by because I was looking for a version of this library that was compatible with .NET Standard. Any chance you can push your bits as a pre-release to NuGet and I'll give it a try?

[stuartshay]

@samjudson I just did some basic testing using the .NET Code and the so far looks good !!!
I pushed the working code to myget, will remove once you push to Nuget

Thanks Again for your work !!!

Hey folks! Added support for .Net Core would be awesome... Is any of you, guys, @stuartshay, @ValeraT1982, planning to send the pull request with the required changes? Thanks a lot!

[stuartshay]

I did not make any changes, just published the existing code to myget, so no pull request required.

I would be willing to test the code further if a official package was published

@samjudson: just curious as to whether you plan to publish an "official" package for .NET Standard.

Thanks.

[samjudson]

Hi Guys. Feel a bit bad about this but I've been quite busy at work etc (plus random other excuses). I also don't use Flickr much myself these days.

Anyway, v4 branch is actually newer code than the master branch, and is intended to replace the current master at some point. Since .Net Standard 2.0 came out it will probably be quite easy to get it up and running, although I had hoped to support a lower version of .Net Standard (e.g. 1.3) so I could support as many people as possible.

[travisterrell]

@samjudson Thanks for the update! In the end, I actually ended up using the code from the v4 branch, and it worked fine without any modifications. (Though I did extend one of the classes to add some functionality.)

The only thing that took me a while was realizing that another branch actually had Core implemented!

It'd be cool if you could find some time to get it merged into master (though I'm sure some of the merge conflicts will be a monster, especially since you haven't worked on it in a while.) Thanks again for your work!

[mfeingol]

I will just say that it would be awesome to get an update to this library with .NET Standard support.

@samjudson: any chance of any activity on this?

Thanks.
