description	Use for target frameworks, assembly signing, NuGet packaging, OS-specific builds, and HTTP pipeline overview in Contentstack.Management.Core.

Framework and platform – Contentstack Management .NET SDK

When to use

• Changing TargetFrameworks, signing, or package metadata.
• Debugging build differences between Windows and macOS/Linux.
• Understanding how ContentstackClient wires HttpClient and the runtime pipeline (before diving into retry details).

Instructions

Target frameworks

• Contentstack.Management.Core/contentstack.management.core.csproj:
  • Windows: netstandard2.0;net471;net472
  • Non-Windows: netstandard2.0 only (full framework TFMs need Windows reference assemblies).
• Test projects target net7.0.
• Contentstack.Management.ASPNETCore/contentstack.management.aspnetcore.csproj: netstandard2.1.

Assembly signing

• Core and test projects reference CSManagementSDK.snk via SignAssembly / AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile.
• Keep strong-name policy consistent when adding new shipped assemblies.

NuGet

• Core package ID: contentstack.management.csharp (see PackageId in core .csproj).
• ASP.NET Core package ID: contentstack.management.aspnetcore.
• Local pack: dotnet pack -c Release -o out (see .github/workflows/nuget-publish.yml).

HTTP stack overview

• ContentstackClient.BuildPipeline constructs a ContentstackRuntimePipeline with:
  • HttpHandler — sends HTTP requests.
  • RetryHandler — applies retry policy (default or custom).
• Options: RetryConfiguration and ContentstackClientOptions retry-related settings.
• For deep changes to retry rules, handler ordering, or custom RetryPolicy, see ../http-pipeline/SKILL.md.
