Create a C# Core.NET project using System.IO.Ports

Question

I need to create a C# Core.NET project (to be able to run on Linux) but when I create my project with Visual Studio 2017, I can't use the namespace System.IO.Ports even if it is present in Core.NET 2.1.4 which I installed (cf. screenshots)

My question is simple: how should I configure my project to be able to use this feature?

I precise that I already used System.IO.Ports on this computer for Unity3D projects, but in this case Unity3D handles all the Visual Studio configuration. So i really don't know how to do, but I know that it is possible on this computer.

You likely need to install the System.IO.Ports nuget package — Camilo Terevinto

No I did not tried that, but isn't it supposed to be already installed if I am able to use it with unity projects? — Pierre Baret

"Installed" is not really the concept here. The dependency is brought in to relevant projects as needed. The unity project might have some pre-configured dependencies - without looking I wouldnt know — Jamiec

Ok thank you for this precision, I still lack some reflex with C# and VS. I imported the package and now it's ok, so problem solved !! Thanks guys !! =) — Pierre Baret

Many of the extensions to netstandard/netcore are separate dependencies, installed using nuget.

In this case you're looking for this one.

It can be installed using the command install-package system.io.ports in the package manager console
