Is it possible to use the protobuf-net library in an application that targets Windows

  • 0

Is it possible to use the protobuf-net library in an application that targets Windows RT? I tried adding it via NuGet to my project but I receive this error:

Successfully installed 'protobuf-net 2.0.0.480'.
Successfully uninstalled 'protobuf-net 2.0.0.480'.
Install failed. Rolling back...
Could not install package 'protobuf-net 2.0.0.480'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETCore,Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

    You need a newer version. Version 594 has support for 4.5.
    In the package manager console (Tools->Library Package Manager->Package Manager Console) run:

    PM> Install-Package protobuf-net -Version 2.0.0.594

    Or download it from the project web site.
