This repo contains the library implementation (called "CoreFX") for .NET Core. It includes System.Collections, System.IO, System.Xml, and many other components. The corresponding .NET Core Runtime repo (called "CoreCLR") contains the runtime implementation for .NET Core. It includes RyuJIT, the .NET GC, and many other components. Runtime-specific library code (mscorlib) lives in the CoreCLR repo. It needs to be built and versioned in tandem with the runtime. The rest of CoreFX is agnostic of runtime-implementation and can be run on any compatible .NET runtime (e.g. CoreRT).

- How to use .NET Core (with VS, VS Code, command-line CLI)
- Install official releases
- Documentation (Get Started, Tutorials, Porting from .NET Framework, API reference, ...)
- Supported OS versions
- Roadmap
- Releases
- Bringing more APIs to .NET Core (and why some APIs will be left out)
Some of the best ways to contribute are to try things out, file bugs, join in design conversations, and fix issues.
- Dogfooding daily builds
- If you have a question or idea, file a new issue.
If you are having issues with the "full" .NET Framework (also called "Desktop"), the best way to file a bug is at Connect or through Product Support if you have a contract.
