[Solved] Can anyone tell me is possible to change the .Game PCL

Platforms
#1

Does anybody know, is it possible to convert my MyGame.Game Portable Class Library into a regular .Net Class Library

My application does not need to be cross platform I only need to run it on my desktop but I need to implement a repository pattern with entity framework which is not supported by class libraries.

any help would be greatly appreciated

If you perform the following patch to your game’s project, you will end up with a project that targets .NET Framework 4.6.1:

That worked perfectly, thanks a million!

Alternatively, you could consider using Entity Framework Core which is cross-platform.

I had tried this but it didn’t allow me to use fluent api as I couldn’t acces System.Data.Entity. From what I could find it won’t be included until Entity Framework 7 comes out. But thanks for the suggestion all the same.
