Advanced NuGet features
In this final section, we’ll explore some of the more advanced features of NuGet, such as target frameworks, pre-release versions, and custom scripts, and discuss the best practices for package development. This knowledge will help you create more robust, flexible, and maintainable packages.
Target frameworks
Target frameworks allow us to specify which .NET platforms your package supports, ensuring compatibility across various environments. This feature helps prevent compatibility issues by allowing only the installation of your package in projects that target supported frameworks.
When creating a NuGet package, you can define multiple target frameworks within the .csproj or .nuspec file. This setup enables NuGet to pack separate binaries for each framework, ensuring that your package leverages platform-specific features when available.
Here’s an example of configuration:
<PropertyGroup> <TargetFrameworks>...
