How to port to .NET core?

[xameeramir]

I was looking for possibilities for porting some web projects from Windows .NET framework to Ubuntu linux using open source .NET core

After a lot of struggle with Mono, which I have almost gave up. I was looking at .NET core as a new hope. Have anyone of us ported from .NET to .NET core?

If yes, can the possible problems like the ones I faced with Mono be shared?

Hi. Yes, lots of people have ported their code to Core. Since you seem to be working on a web app, you should look at ASP.NET 5 and MVC 6, which are the web platforms built on .NET Core. There will definitely be problems to overcome, as not everything that is available with .NET Framework is available on .NET Core. The API port tool can help you assess this by evaluating your current code for compatibility. To go beyond that would require more specific questions, which you should be able to get answers for either on the forums (https://forums.asp.net/1255.aspx/1?ASP+NET+5 or http://forums.dotnetfoundation.org/), or on Gitter.

Since this is not a bug, but questions, I'm going to close the issue.
