Using current master on Windows 7 (fast fix) about dsharpplus

[Emzi0767]

2.0.0-rc has a WS4Net provider, and can be used under Windows 7 (both via .NET Core and .NETFX). Code on master branch is being slowly obsoleted in favour of code on netcore branch. If you want to submit a PR, feel free to do so, however I'd prefer if the WS4Net code was provided as an alternative to the default one, rather than a replacement.

netcore requires windows 10 creators update as it requires .net 4.7.0 package :D

2.0.0-rc corresponds to master or different branch? Maybe its possible for me to use it instead.

[Emzi0767]

2.0.0-rc is the netcore branch, and it only requires .NETFX 4.7 to build (that was also disabled recently, until AppVeyor gets support for thereof, for now it just caps off at .NETFX 4.6.2). You can run it on .NETFX 4.5.2+, .NET Core 1.0+, and any other platform targeting .NET Standard 1.1+ (such as Xamarin, Universal Windows Platform, Windows 8 Metro, Windows Phone 8).

If you want to use 2.0.0, you want to do so via NuGet or MyGet. Check pre-release in your NuGet window, and install DSharpPlus. If you want to use the WS4Net or WS# provider, install DSharpPlus.WebSocket.WebSocket4Net or DSharpPlus.WebSocket.WebSocketSharp respectively. The former is preferred, as it is more stable.

To use the MyGet feed (which generally contains more recent builds), add https://www.myget.org/F/dsharpplus-nightly/api/v3/index.json to your NuGet sources first.

After it's installed, call client.SetSocketImplementation<WebSocket4NetProvider>() or so.

Installing NuGet prerelase + WebSocket4Net solved my trouble as well :)

I also see that WebSocket4Net and WebSocketSharp do not support .netcore, I'll try to tinker with this when I have some time.

[Emzi0767]

They don't, because the underlying libraries do not support .NET Standard.

[Emzi0767]

I'll close that for now, comment if you have further questions.

[bodziowolf]

They don't, because the underlying libraries do not support .NET Standard.

Yeah, WebSocket4Net has some .netcore support only in beta package, but that might not be stable yet.

[Emzi0767]

Problem is, these are pre-release packages. I would prefer not to rely on pre-release packages in the project, because that forces marking your project as pre-release as well. In case we go out of pre-release earlier than those packages, it will present a problem.

[bodziowolf]

Indeed, that would be my thoughts as well.
