.Net Framework vs .Net 5 Core

Actually, no. You can't run .Net apps with UI's on Linux.

So I wrote an app using .Net Framework (4.72), and published the article. There are fewer than 6 files to "publish" in the release folder. Out of curiosity, I re-implemented the code with .Net 5 Core. There are 22 files, six runtime folders, and a refs folder. All told the binary footprint is over 10mb LARGER than with .Net framework. I don't see the benefit of using .Net Core if it's going to consume that much more disk space.

dotnet publish -r win-x64 --self-contained false -o bin/
Then check your bin folder. Should be far smaller with far less files with the limitation that it only runs on Windows. For a small Linux-only build, you can use
dotnet publish -r linux-x64 --self-contained false -o bin/
Whilst this is smaller, you will now need the .NET 5 Framework (Not to be mistaken with the .NET Framework Framework) installed as you did with regular .NET Framework (One of the reasons your one is so much larger is that it bundles the entirety of the Framework in it as well as it assumes it's not natively installed)

Ya see, I'm old. When I started coding, using as little ram and disk space as possible was a real goal. I still believe that. I've always had heartburn regarding disk footprint with regards to .Net (and the fact that most of that footprint was hidden in the Win32 folder). With Core, it now needs to be deployed with your app. It's essentially the same as docker containers - you don't have to worry about what version of .net the user has because you're essentially putting the .net dependencies into the container. I have hundreds of projects on my hard drive. if I compiled them all for .net core, it would consume gigabytes more space than they do right now. For me, it's not a trivial thing. Really.

Asking because I'm not sure, does Core have the ability to compile to a single exe, where framework does not? If that's the case, that would be one advantage.

yes, but the exe is much bigger. See my post above.

Yup.... it blows people's minds when I when I tell them one of our flagship products (of the early to mid 90s) had 0.000032GB of "disk space" (EEPROM) and even less RAM. And, by the way, it used a 0.012 GHz processor. And supported five serial ports. (But, of course, had no display, let alone a graphical one, no keyboard, no mouse....)

Mostly false - it only runs on Windows if you add a UI. On linux, you have to run it through a glorified parser(the dotnet command). When you get right down to it, .Net isn't "native" on ANY platform.

It compiles and runs fine, but when I try to publish as self-contained single file, I get this:
Publish has encountered an error. We were unable to determine the cause of the error.Core is worthless. EDIT - when I set it to framework dependent single file, it "publishes" successfully, but I get still 5mb of deployable files.".45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly" - JSOP, 2010

I run core 3.1 ( which is NOT exactly the same as dotnet 5 ) on a Raspberry PI with full UI. (UWP). I Now run dotnet 5 as a portable web site ( runs on everything I've tried so far, with no real complications ). As for size of the executable folder. Try this..... Just create a demo app using full framework ( web forms ) then create the demo Blazor app, now do a comparison using windows explorer-Properties. Be aware if you used the ".ALL" nuget package in your conversion ( Huge legacy, Full Framework library ) and then select the option that automatically loads the whole Kestral web server into the runtime folder when you deploy you will get a lot of things you really don't need. Actually the whole paradigm has changed.

Web apps, by their very nature, areplatform agnostic. The UI is handled by the browser, NOT the "app" itself. Desktop apps written with Core that have a UI are NOT cross platform. My claim stands.

Is that a web app, or a desktop app?

I think .NET has been a mess for years with its runtime fragmentation and lack of AOT in any meaningful sense... but the reality is if you want to use new lang or framework features fundamentally based on CoreLib changes you need to update.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013Wait till you implement a small microservice, and 6 months later you need another microservice so you fire up another ASP.NET Core 3.1 project and use NuGet to get the various packages you need, and suddenly, running on the same server, all these bizarre dependent DLL's can't be found because whatever you did to get them on your server for the first project, well, the second project, which now uses newer versions, those don't exist on the server. And given this is a production server, I'm reluctant to update all those DLL's, as it might break something in the other existing projects. So my solution? I copy the entire SLN of the microservice that is running, replace various C# files with the functionality I need in the new service, and it works. Fucking mess, is what NuGet and Core 3.1 is. .NET was supposed to "solve" DLL hell. It's come back with a vengeance. Yes, I suppose I could edit some obscure config file somewhere that says "use this version of this package", or manually select the package version I used previously when installing the NuGet package, but really? Why? Why do I need to go through all this extra work? Oh, and I also blame the open source community. So many updates, constantly, it doesn't take six months for something to change. In some cases, it takes mere hours.
