reference an existing .NET Framework Project in an ASP.NET Core

Question

I have an existing project with .NET framework 4 its a business logic layer

I have created .NET core app with core framework and try to add exist business layer as reference and I tried with this example : How do I reference a .NET Framework project in a .NET Core project?

I also created core app with .net framework and try to add reference its also not work

please check the below images and give me help :)

---------  .net framework

------ core project

The earliest supported .NET version is 4.5.2. It wouldn't be surprising if the Core team decided not to support an obsolete version - in fact it would make perfect sense — Panagiotis Kanavos

The obvious. Upgrade the project's target framework and try again — Panagiotis Kanavos

According to the chart on this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/standard/library you need to upgrade your libraries to at least version 4.5 of the Framework.

I'm currently using version 4.6 of the Framework for my libraries and referencing them from an Asp.Net Core MVC Web Project without issue.
