You'll often hear the terms framework and platform used interchangeably. This can be very confusing. You'll hear that .NET Core is a platform. Then you'll read that .NET Core is cross-platform. Next, you'll learn that .NET Core is a framework. And it doesn't help that framework is part of the name of the original full .NET Framework.

In this post, I explain the difference between frameworks and platforms and explain why sometimes you'll see .NET being referred to as a framework and other times see it referred to as a platform.

 Can not find runtime target for framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0' compatible with one of the target runtimes: 'win10-x64, win81-x64, win8-x64, win7-x64'.
The project does not list one of 'win10-x64, win81-x64, win8-x64, win7-x64' in the 'runtimes' section.
