I have a .net core RC2 web app and I need to reference a .net 461 assembly (namely system.drawing.dll). From what I read from posts such as this one: What frameworks are available in ASP.NET Core (ASP.NET 5) applications? this should be possible.
I've also read: https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/3171 I beleive I have implemented the suggested syntax in my project.json as shown below.
I have also seen: DotNet Core RC2 Project and Net461 dependency resolve issue
My project references look correct in visual studio (i.e. no red dots). However when I try to build my project I get this error message: "The type or namespace Drawing does not exist in the the namespace System...".
Here is project.json
