botframework - Is it safe to target the Bot Framework SDK to .NET 5?

Question

We've recently started a project with the Virtual Assistant Template 1.0.1, and I wonder if it is safe to target the solution to net5.0 since we have some libraries that use this latest .NET GA release.

Currently, the VA template references the Bot Framework SDK 4.9.3. Any requirements on the SDK version?

I've done a couple of tests to confirm. The project compiles, and I can't see any errors. However, I'm looking for some confirmation from the community.

Answer 1

There are no obvious problems with targeting .NET 5. But if you'd like to be safe, you should go with the version the samples are using:

    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
