Change target framework of a Office Addins project from .NET Framework to .NET Core












1















The default Excel Web Add-in template created by Visual Studio in a new Office Addins solution has two projects:





  • AppName: A manifest project, with only a XML file.


  • AppNameWeb: A .NET Framework 4.6.1 project with several template files.


I want to delete the .NET Framework project and use a brand new .NET Core project instead, that I just created in the same solution.



I went to the project reference dialog of AppName. I removed AppNameWeb included my .NET Core project, then I confirmed the changes.



Now I get this warning:



Project 'AppName.csproj' targets 'netcoreapp2.1'. It cannot be referenced by a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1'.



I opened AppName project properties, but I don't have the option to change its target framework to .NET Core 2.1, it only lists .NET Framework 4.x.x



Question is: is it possible to change the target framework of a Office Addins project from .NET Framework to .NET Core? If it is not, how is the best way to work with Office Addins with ASP.NET Core?



Thanks!

          1. Remove AppNameWeb and AppNameWeb Core projects reference from AppName

          2. Specify Web Project of AppName project properties as (None)

          3. Open AppName.xml, replace ~remoteAppUrl with AppNameWeb Core home address


          4. Set SourceLocation with home address like

    <SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://localhost:44382" />

          5. Right-Click solution -> Properties -> Configure Multiple startup projects with AppName and AppNameWeb Core


          6. Startup multiple project to check the running.

          • Yes! It worked! Is it possible to "tell" the manifest that ~remoteAppUrl is in fact the other localhost address instead replacing each occurance of its file?

          • @FelipeCostaGualberto I am afraid it is impossible, ~remoteAppUrl is reset by the Web Project, for choosing web project, you will need to reference the AppNameWeb Core project will cause this reference error.

          Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

          Image
          28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

          Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

          Image
          up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 After the 2018 errata, the disintegrate spell description now reads: A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form? I know that for Druids, it’s not an instant kill anymore, but is this the case for polymorph as well? dnd-5e spells polymorph errata share | improve this question edited 18 hours ago

          A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

          Image
          3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
