In some projects I need to add NuGet package Microsoft.Data.SqlClient to the project before I can do
using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient
In other projects, I can do that without explicitly adding the NuGet package. The examples below are both .NET 6.0 projects (same for .NET 5).
I am wondering how this works. Is the package referenced indirectly somehow?
CodePudding user response:
AspNetCore.HealthChecks.SqlServer
depends on Microsoft.Data.SqlClient
:
- .NETStandard 2.0
- Microsoft.Data.SqlClient (>= 2.1.2)
- Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks (>= 5.0.1)
- net5.0
- Microsoft.Data.SqlClient (>= 2.1.2)
- Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks (>= 5.0.1)
so as transitive dependency Microsoft.Data.SqlClient
becomes available for you also.
