I'm porting a .NET 4.6.1 console app to .NET Core.
I have NETStandard.Library 1.6 installed, and it's not letting me pass a file path string into a StreamReader constructor. Viewing the definition confirms that it's not available:
Where's it gone?

This is correct. .Net Core 1.0/.Net Standard 1.x refactored the base libraries, so that basic stream types like StreamReader
are in the System.IO
package and FileStream
is in the System.IO.FileSystem
package. Since the constructor you're looking for would require StreamReader
to depend on FileStream
, it was removed.
Note that a large part of this refactoring was reversed for the upcoming .Net Core 2.0/.Net Standard 2.0, so you will be able to use this constructor on .Net Core in the future.
