Net6 support

[abegau]

Hi Michael,

it seems that running the xscgen tool on Net6 SDK is not supported yet because it is not included in the TargetFramework list.
I checked out the code and added net6.0 to the TargetFramework list locally which could directly be compiled.

Is it planned to release a net6.0 based version in the near future?

Thank you!
André

The current version should run on net6.0. Do you get any error messages?

I get the following error with 2.0.630 on an 6.0.101-bullseye-slim Docker image:

It was not possible to find any compatible framework version
  The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '5.0.0' (x64) was not found.
    - The following frameworks were found:
        6.0.1 at [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
  
  You can resolve the problem by installing the specified framework and/or SDK.

/builds/tbP3ytCt/0/Project.csproj(10,3): error MSB3073: The command "xscgen schema.xsd" exited with code 150.

My csproj File looks like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
	  <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

	<Target Name="PreBuild" BeforeTargets="Build">
		<Exec Command="xscgen Schema.xsd" />
	</Target>
</Project>

It seems .NET Core does not automatically roll forward through major version boundaries of the runtime: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/versions/selection#framework-dependent-apps-roll-forward

Specifically this scenario:

❌ 3.0 is specified. No 3.x versions are installed. 5.0.0 is the highest runtime installed. An error message is displayed.

I've added <RollForward>Major</RollForward> to the .csproj so it should work with the latest release (2.0.631).

Works like a charm, thanks a lot!
