Use System.Drawing.Bitmap from .NET Core 3.1

[viniciusjarina]

I am trying to use System.Drawing.Bitmap from a .NET Core 3.1 library.

According to docs https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.bitmap?view=dotnet-plat-ext-3.1 the type is available in the version 3.

When I try to build the library using Bitmap I got the error:

error CS1069: The type name 'Bitmap' could not be found in the namespace 'System.Drawing'.
This type has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Drawing.Common, Version=4.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'
Consider adding a reference to that assembly

How can I create a .NET Core 3 class library using that type?

OBS: Using that type from a .NET Core WinForms work without any problem. (and there is no need to reference the nuget System.Drawing.Common since the type is already in the SDK).

You need to manually install the nuget package https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Drawing.Common/ this is by design and you also have to do this on a WPF project. I expect that Winforms project automatically contains this reference for some reason.
