Different client and server framework versions

[dsoltesz]

Is it possible to have a wpf 4.7.2 client project but have the server be .net core or .net 5 and have the code generation still work or does both the client and server have to have the same framework version? I'm asking because we have a wpf client and server app that is .net 4.7.2 and while we can't update the wpf client at this time, we can update our backend if this scenario is supported by open ria?

While it is possible to have different target frameworks, netcore/net5 is not yet supported for use on the server.

The current blockers are

• the code generation which does some type reflection using asp.net runtime hosting, it needs to be rewritten maybe to use Cecil just as the client side has been rewritten
• server assembly currently has no netcore3.1/net5 compile target (easy and straightforward)
• a netcore compatible hosting alternative needs to be added
