.NET 5 - CA1416: This call site is reachable on all platforms. is only supported on Windows 7.0 and later

-
Hi All,

Our software architect just recently upgraded our custom class library that contains common data access classes, custom utilities and functions for our day to day tasks from .NET Framework 4.7x to .NET 5. Since we are only deploying our applications to windows users, he set the TargetFramework value to net5.0-windows in .csproj file.
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup Label="Globals">
    <SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName>
    <SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider>
    <SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath>
    <SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net5.0-windows</TargetFramework>
	<CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>
	<UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
	<PackageId>Utilities.XYZLibNET</PackageId>
	<Version>1.0.0.3</Version>
	<Authors>Development Team</Authors>
	<Description>Library of common classes and functions for net5.0-windows</Description>
	<Copyright>2021</Copyright>
	<PackageReleaseNotes>Initial Release</PackageReleaseNotes>	
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="13.0.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.Data.SqlClient" Version="4.8.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.Security.Principal.Windows" Version="5.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="XYZLib.config">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>
After compiling the said library, I referenced the dll file immediately to my project that targets the .NET 5.0 framework and called the database class methods in my application. To my surprise, it generates tons of warning messages with regards to CA1416: This call site is reachable on all platforms. "statement" is only supported on Windows 7.0 and later.
.NET Core - CA1416: This call site is reachable on all platforms. is only supported on Windows 7.0 and later
.NET Core - CA1416: This call site is reachable on all platforms. is only supported on Windows 7.0 and later
As per the documentation, .NET source code analysis, CA1416 is a warning about platform compatibility that are enabled by default of which these messages or violations are reported if a platform-specific API is used in the context of a different platform or if the platform isn't verified (platform-neutral). Violations are also reported if an API that's not supported for the target platform of the project is used. After researching for possible solutions, I found two workarounds to remove these warning messages. First is to disable the code analysis of the project (.csproj) referencing the .NET 5 dll by setting the EnableNETAnalyzers to false as mentioned in this document MSBuild reference for .NET SDK projects
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
	<EnableNETAnalyzers>false</EnableNETAnalyzers>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager" Version="5.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.Data.SqlClient" Version="4.8.2" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="GGSLibNet">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\Projects\bin\Debug\net5.0-windows\Utilities.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="XYZSettings.config">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>
The other solution is to change the TargetFramework of the project referencing the dll from net5.0 to net5.0-windows which is identical with the TargetFramework of our custom project library. 
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net5.0-windows</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager" Version="5.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="System.Data.SqlClient" Version="4.8.2" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="GGSLibNet">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\Projects\bin\Debug\net5.0-windows\Utilities.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="XYZSettings.config">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>
After that, these warning messages will disappear.

Good day to all! Here's an example of a WPF CRUD (Create,Update and Delete) project using the DataGrid control, ADO.NET Entity Framework 6.x, C#.NET and Model–View–Viewmodel(MVVM) architectural pattern. This post was based from this tutorial WPF CRUD With DataGrid, Entity Framework And C#.NET except that we are now using the MVVM framework. The steps below are pretty straightforward and easy to follow. I. Project Setup 1. Add a table called Students in you database. The complete script is found in this post WPF CRUD With DataGrid, Entity Framework And C#.NET 2. Create a WPF Project and add four folders called DataAccess, Model, View and ViewModel. 3. Your project structure may look similar with the screenshot provided below. II. Coding The Model and Repository Class 1. Inside the Model folder, add an ADO.NET Entity Data Model that connects to the Students table in your database. On my part, I named it StudentModel . 2. For the connectionstring name in App.config file, I

How To Insert Or Add Emojis In Microsoft Teams Status Message

Good day Gents! I was trying to update my Microsoft Teams status and was wondering if I can add or insert emoji. For editing or adding new teams status, only text fields are available and there's no emoji icon similar to writing a teams message. After googling for a few minutes, I found this link Emoji's in status which is a feature request in Microsoft Teams User's Voice Forum. So far this upgrade request only has thirty votes which is relatively small and may be considered a low priority for the product team to implement. Given the limitations at hand, I tried several approach including copying an emoji in a chat message which didn't work and later found a solution using Microsoft Outlook 365. First is to create a new email message in Microsoft Outlook and press (Window Key + .). The emoji dropdown control will appear. Next is to select the emoji that you wanted to add to Teams. Copy the emoji from the newly created email message template and paste that to Micr

Good Day Gents! During this free-time I started setting up Node.js on my machine as part of my career goals which is learning new frameworks in preparation for new projects. So the first thing I did was to install TypeScript language to get myself familiar with Angular 2+. After I finished setting up TypeScript, I then created a simple HelloWorld program and ran the application through Visual Studio Code using the "tsc: build - tsconfig.json" command. I encountered an error which says "The term 'tsc' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again." Below are the details on my machine and packages installed:   - Operating System: Windows 10 Pro   - Node.js: 14.16.0   - npm version: 6.14.11   - Typescript: 4.2.3 (using command: "npm install -g typescript") After doing some research and reading thr
