All I did was disable support for Silverlight 5 in my PCL project.

Visual Studio 2015.1 then informed me that it decided to support ASP.NET Core 5.0 as well (which I don't want or need) added crap like project.json to the project and the code using IConvertible stopped compiling due to The type or namespace name 'IConvertible' could not be found error.

How can I fix this mess? I want to be able to use both IConvertible and Parallel.For.

  • Do you find a solution for this problem? – user1829325 Feb 19 '16 at 18:37
  • @user1829325 No. It is a known bug: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/5422. Microsoft doesn't care about supporting slightly older platforms. – Den Feb 19 '16 at 23:37
  • @user1829325 I am going to use a custom Parallel.For when I need it http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/48804/implementation-of-parallel-foreach-for-net-3-5 – Den Feb 19 '16 at 23:37
