Folks, I just resurrected an old utility project that pokes into IIS logs. I updated the project to Framework 4.6.1 and add the Microsoft.Web.Administration package. I notice that it adds a total of 56 packages and about 100 dll files to the build output.
I see that the bulk of the files have been pulled in through a reference to NETStandard.Library 1.6.0. Now, this is a full .NET Framework 4.6.1 project, so why have packages for things like System.Console and System.Collections been added when they're already in the full Framework? Is there some trend I'm not aware of caused by the introduction of .NET Standard? *Greg K*
