Is it possible to create with Visual Studio a class library assembly which is platform indepedent?












0














Can I create a class library with Visual Studio which is platform indepedent, meaning it does not depend on .NET Framework?



What I mean is this: ECMA 335 defines CLI and the basic types, so I am trying to see how to create an assembly which is just ECMA 335 compliant, and platform independent. I just want an assembly which has simple code with types defined by ECMA 335. Is it possible?



Or, since the compiler is actually part of the .NET runtime (Microsoft's .NET Framework in this case), there's no way you could actually do this?

  • @Damien_The_Unbeliever Imagine simple code which only implements some logic. This shouldn't be that common.

    .NET assemblies are platform-independent by design. Problem is that the reference assemblies you use often are not. Creating a .NETStandard library is as close as you can get.
