OSCompatibilityLib (formerly RuntimeExtensions)

Features:

OSCompatibilityLib adds .NET Standard 2.0 & 2.1 compatible ways of getting:

  • OS Detection by reimplementing the OperatingSystem class with static methods
  • Re-implementing the RuntimeInformation class to backport Runtime Identifier detection

It also adds some support for programmatically determining the .NET Target Framework Moniker (TFM) being used.

Usage

To get OS Detection support, OSCompatibilityLib needs to replace the reference to the existing OperatingSystem class in a .NET Standard 2.0 project with OSCompatibilityLib's equivalent class.

This can be easily done with a using namespace.

To target only .NET Standard 2.0 use:

#if NETSTANDARD2_0
    using OperatingSystem = AlastairLundy.OSCompatibilityLib.Polyfills.OperatingSystem;
#endif

To target .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1 use:

#if NETSTANDARD2_0 || NETSTANDARD2_1
    using OperatingSystem = AlastairLundy.OSCompatibilityLib.Polyfills.OperatingSystem;
#endif
