Portable, shared, net-standard libraries – so many options to choose when you need to share some code between the platforms. During this talk we will explore all the options and differences between the library types. After the session you will have a solid understanding of the modern .NET library types and code sharing strategies which you can apply for your next .NET Core, desktop or Xamarin project.

C# code sharing across the platforms
- 1. C# code sharing across the platforms Andrei Marukovich LunarFrog.com twitter: @amarukovich
- 2. .NET ecosystem .NET Framework .NET Core Xamarin WPF ASP.NET WinForms UWP ASP.NET Core iOS macOS Android
- 3. Code sharing strategies • Source file links • Shared projects • Portable class libraries (PCLs) • .NET Standard
- 4. Shared projects • Better version of the source file links UWP project Xamarin project File1.cs File2.cs SharedLib File1.cs File2.cs SharedLib File1.cs File2.cs SharedLibUI App layer UI App layer
- 6. Shared projects • Benefits • Simple model • May include platform-specific code • Disadvantages • Source-level sharing, no assembly • Compiler directives • Usability
- 7. Portable class libraries • Sharing code in binary form, without recompiling UWP project Xamarin project File1.cs File2.cs PortableLib UI App layer UI App layer
- 8. How it works? • PCLs are based on profiles • Profile defines an API surface supported by the library • Profile is identified by combination of supported platforms • http://embed.plnkr.co/03ck2dCtnJogBKHJ9EjY • C:Program Files (x86)Reference AssembliesMicrosoftFramework.NETPortable
- 10. PCLs
- 11. Portable class libraries • Benefits • PCLs allow binary distribution • API enforcement • No context switching, simple refactoring • Disadvantages • PCL’s require upfront decision on the supported platforms • Lowest common denominator for the selected platforms • Cannot use compiler directives • Long term maintainability
- 12. .NET Standard • An evolution of PCLs • .NET Standard defines a set of APIs to be implemented by .NET platforms (specification) • .NET Standard is versioned (API level) • Library developers may choose target .NET Standard version • Version defines API surface, not supported frameworks • The higher the version, the more APIs you have • The lower the version, the more .NET platforms implement it • Analogy: https://gist.github.com/davidfowl/8939f305567e1755412d6dc0b8baf1b7
- 13. .NET Standard
- 16. Big picture
- 17. .NET Standard • Current state • Tooling is in preview • Currently PCLs support a wider range of platforms • At the moment, PCL adoption (# of libraries) is higher than .NET Standard • Future • PCL replacement • Standard 2.0 will have significantly larger API surface • Standard 2.0 will be interoperable with .NET Framework
