Can I retarget my libraries to .NET Standard 2.0?

With the release of .NET Core 2.0 and the .NET Standard 2.0 specification, it’s time to check if I can retarget some of my old libraries to .NET Standard 2.0.

The tool you need is the .NET Portability Analyzer: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ConnieYau.NETPortabilityAnalyzer

After downloading and installing the Visual Studio extension, it is time to configure it first:

  • Open the project you want to analyze in Visual Studio
  • Go to Tools –> Options and click on the .NET Portability Analyzer from the left menu

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
