Is Caliburn.Micro 4.0 still using a Bootstrapper? - caliburn.micro

I'm trying to use Caliburn.Micro 4.0.102-alpha with .Net Core 3.0
But there is no BootstrapperBase.
So I have to ask: Is there now another concept or is the class missing in the alpha version?
Is it too early to test Caliburn.Micro with .Net Core 3.0?
Is there an other MVVM Framework available to use with .Net Core 3.0?
Your opinion or solution is very welcome :-)

Is NCache compatible with .NET Core 3.0?

I have used NCache tagetting .net framework 4.6.1 but wanted to convert the same to the .net core 3.0. So, is that possible?
I don't believe it works with Entity Framework 3.0 as Microsoft have changed a lot of things under-the-hood. I've tried upgrading our .Net Core 2.2 project, but NCache was complaining about quite a few things.

How to add EF CLass Library to solution that will work with .net 4.5 and dotnet core

I currently have a webforms website using .net 4.5.
I would like to add a class library with entity framewrok.
I want to make sure that this class library works with dotnet core and my existing webforms project.
With all the versions of .net, it is very confusing.
From what I gathered, dotnet standard maybe used as the middle ware for this type a situation. But I'm not sure this is true.
Any suggestions?
Yes, you'll have to use the .NET Standard and Entity Framework Core. .NET Framework will be able to interface with the .NET Standard
I would start up with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECNLyvxLnuQ
There's not a lot of docs on standard, but this will give you some conceptual understanding
Notice that "ASP.NET vs ASP.NET Core" and "Entity Framework vs Entity Framework Core" are completely different frameworks, even though which were named similarly.
ASP.NET and Entity Framework targets .NET Framework which means they can only work on .NET Framework.
ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core targets .NET Standard which means they can work on both .NET Framework and .NET Core.
WebForms bases on ASP.NET, and there is no (and not planned) migration for it on ASP.NET Core, so the old WebForms projects will never be able to work on .NET Core.
It is a great quantity of the task migrating from ASP.NET MVC to ASP.NET Core MVC, and WebForms is even impossible.
If you really need to run your project on .NET Core, there will be a complete refactoring of your whole project:
Refactoring your WebForms project to ASP.NET Core MVC (Completely redevelop the whole project)
Refactoring your Entity Framework data definitions to Entity Framework Core (It only supports code-first and database-first, there is no model-first any more)
Make sure that all referenced .NET libraries target .NET Standard or .NET Core and reference them on nuget. If not, re-target an alternative.
If your project is planned to be hosted on Linux server and referenced some native libraries, you have to get the equivalent .so libraries instead of .dll libraries.

.NET Core project add reference to .NET Framework project. Why it's possible?

I have followings projects:
.NET Core 2.0 Web Application
.NET Standard 2.0 Class library &
.NET Framework 4.5 Class Library.
I add reference of .net framework class library to asp.net core web api project. and it seems it works very well.
I am wondering why it's possible to add reference of .NET Framework class library project to ASP.NET Core Web API or MVC?
It's not supposed to allow adding only Standard or Core libraries references to Core projects?
Is this core Web project with .NET Framework class libraries references still cross platform?
UPDATE
According to Phiter comment:
"If you import a .net framework library to your project it'll no longer be cross platform, but you can do it freely if you want to. They allow it because you might want to use .net core and still be on windows."
So if this is a reason, if I want to bind my project to .NET Framework and remain on windows why I use Core Web Project from the first place?
I thought we use core projects for cross platform ability and if not, the .Net framework is not a better option?
UPDATE
mason comment:
"Nothing funny: ASP.NET Core project doesn't have to run on .NET Core. It can also be run on .NET Framework.
Just because it's called 'Core' doesn't mean they're related. They could have called it ASP.NET FancyPants and had it run on .NET Core and .NET Framework and you wouldn't be as confused. Microsoft just sucks at naming things."
UPDATE (November 12, 2018)
A first look at changes coming in ASP.NET Core 3.0 - Fully leveraging .NET Core
As announced on the .NET Blog earlier this month, .NET Framework will get fewer of the newer platform and language features that come to .NET Core moving forward, due to the in-place update nature of .NET Framework and the desire to limit changes there that might break existing applications. To ensure ASP.NET Core can fully leverage the improvements coming to .NET Core moving forward, ASP.NET Core will only run on .NET Core starting from 3.0. Moving forward, you can simply think of ASP.NET Core as being part of .NET Core.
Customers utilizing ASP.NET Core on .NET Framework today can continue to do so in a fully supported fashion using the 2.1 LTS release. Support and servicing for 2.1 will continue until at least August 21, 2021 (3 years after its declaration as an LTS release) in accordance with the .NET Core support policy.
This was just added as part of .NET Standard/Core 2.0. As long as the .NET Framework dll only references things in the .NET Standard, it will use type forwarding to the .NET Core implementations.
I do not know what made Microsoft allow referencing .net framework class library into .net core project but as a programmer, I am happy with this allowance.
You see allowing .net core application to reference .net framework libraries is useful in case you want to start with windows and are planning to go cross platform in the future.
We are in a stage where many useful open source libraries do not fully support .net core till the date of this post, masstransit is an example, so when I am developing a new software I will be using .net core project that depends on such libraries and I will update them later when they support .net core.

.NET Core and .NET Framework 4.7 edit project option not available

When I create a .NET Core 2.0 Project I have to select both .NET Core version (2.0) and a .NET Framework version (4.7). But when I edit the project, I cannot change the .NET Framework version. Why is that? I am trying to use the function app.UseRewriter(options); and it is unavailable so I am theorizing that I have the wrong .NET Framework
I guess I just needed this package
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Rewrite -Version 2.0.1
Yes, that's a confusing GUI. That got me mad as well (like some other stuff in Visual Studio if you are used to Jetbrains-IDEs).
You have chosen an ASP.NET Core Web Application as project type. So the only target frameworks that are being offered to you are .NET Core 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 (in case you have installed 2.0, like you did).
Chose Web -> ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) to get what you want.

Can anyone recommend an IoC container for ASP.NET 2.0 Webforms?

As the title says, I'm looking for recommendations for an IoC container to use with an ASP.NET 2.0 Webforms app. I believe that some containers are .NET3.5 or newer only.
I would recommend Ninject - using the web extensions.
Although it uses 3.5 I think it will work in your 2.0 website.
You'll need 3.5 on the actual machine, but there is just one runtime version executing the app. - .NET Framework v2.0.
This blog, again using 3.5 forms, takes you through steps that should still work for you.
I've used Spring Framework.NET a lot and been very happy with it, but I haven't used it with ASP.NET. It has a release for .NET 2.0, and even has one for .NET 1.1!
I used StructureMap with 2.0.
I'm not sure if the latest version is still compatible, but the version I used back was just great.
