This is a simple solution that proves the performance imrpvements of .NET Core 2.0 over .NET Framework 4.7.
It's based on the blog post Performance Improvements in .NET Core it was shown as part of my presentation on the fourth edition (2017) of the NetConfUY called ".NET Core for everyone".
The VS2017 solution (dotNet Performance.sln) has three projects:
- StandardLibrary is a .NET Standard 2.0 library
- ConsoleFramework is a .NET Framework 4.7 console application with a reference to the StandardLibrary project
- ConsoleCore is a .NET Core 2.0 console application also with a reference to the StandardLibrary project
Every function that tests a feature is in the StandardLibrary, so the code for both projects is exactly the same. Even the code of every console application is a shared source file.
It works thanks to the fact that both .NET Framework 4.7 and .NET Core 2.0 are .NET Standard 2.0 compatible. More info here
