Roadmap to net5.0? #710

Closed halcwb closed 3 years ago

halcwb commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Is there a road map to completely switch to net5.0 and get red of all the old dependencies, like System.Data.SqlClient, etc...?

Describe the solution you'd like It would help if this project completely switched to net5.0, this would make running on different systems much easier.

This should be already compatible/usable in .NET 5.0 projects, is it not...? Also, there is a .NET Standard branch which is building the system with the new project file layouts, however the current Nuget packages are still released from the master branch.

@Thorium That's great. I was confusing SQLProvider with FSharp.Data.TypeProviders. Leaving me a bit puzzled, should I switch to SQLProvider? It seems that FSharp.Data.TypeProviders will be deprecated?

Thorium commented 3 years ago

I don't know it's status, and I'm not saying a tool is better than some other tool, as every tool has their advantages and disadvantages. For a platform it's a richness to have multiple tools to select from. For me SQLProvider has worked very well.

Some activity stats to consider, in GitHub: FSharp.Data.TypeProviders has 34 stars and 9 contributors SQLProvider has 404 stars and 69 contributors.

Here is a comparison page of type providers. It's hosted by one of them, so maybe not totally objective, but at least it gives you some point of views.

OK, they are effectively different libraries. Thanks for the info.
