Thanks for your feedback! We’re happy to report that your suggestion is now part of the newly released SharePoint Online CSOM API NuGet package.

See more details from following blog post where we reference additional documentation on the usage and have also a video on showing this in practice – https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blogs/net-standard-version-of-sharepoint-online-csom-apis

Just a quick update on this highly requested feature as we are happy to communicate clear progress on this submission.

We are actively working on this with current estimate it being publicly released for production usage by end of June. We are just about to start internal validation of these components and if everything goes as planned there are no plans to further update the schedule.

We do apologize the delay on getting highly requested feature released, but also looking forward on your input and feedback when the feature is available.

We are still actively working on the needed changes for providing the CSOM API NuGet package also as a .NET Standard version. This is currently planned to happen on the first half of 2020 calendar year. We do apologize the inconvenience caused by the delays on getting this out and acknowledge the massive demand of this capability.

SharePoint Dev Platform Team responded · April 12, 2018

Thanks for your feedback! Just a note to let you know that we’re building your suggestion now. Just to be precise, we are looking into having a .NET Standard version of the CSOM package, so that it’s usable in both older .NET versions and also in the .NET Core. No ETA at this point, but happy to inform that work is in progress.

This is a joke right? WTF? Youve now kicked this 3 months twice. Are you taking the piss?

Do you ever plan on releasing this or in 3 months time are you just going to kick it another 3 months?

If there is massive demand, add more resource

We could move to Graph if it wasnt so half-assed and missing features

Vesa ... forget it ... nobody cares about SharePoint anymore .. you managed to kill it and SPFX is a pure mess ... Have you ever heard of Semver and breaking changes? According to this Semver there should be SPFx Version 6 or 7 ... Ever heard of npm audit fix and vulnerabilities? Where is your solution to that? Vulneralbilities coming up every week and than your spfx project upgrade with 50+ commands that have to be executed manually ... ?

This is a really important feature. Even a beta-version would be useful at this point.

3 weeks and 2 days remaining. Hope to see first core version atleast then. its ok to release some beta version before that so we can start testing! Really hate that we still have to use old net framework webapi project. cant upgrade without net core support. Losing ALOT of money and man hours as have to support and build old api.

This delay is causing us a huge amount of money because we have to rebuild stuff using the expiremental .Net Standard CSOM versions and mentioned below and a lot of the PNP stuff.

All of our newer solutions are .Net Standard and .Net Core only and we will not go back using outdated .Net Framework solutions again.

Get your stuff done Microsoft!

It's a shame there is not a higher priority on this task. I'm already waiting for so long I really don't expect the SharePoint Team to deliver in Q1. I hope they get it done this year.

There is a workaround for now that our team uses:

Use the experimental .NET Standard CSOM:

There is an *experimental* .NET Standard CSOM version available here:
https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-Sites-Core/tree/master/Assemblies/16.1

Exactly:
https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-Sites-Core/blob/master/Assemblies/16.1/SharePointPnP.Client.dll

This is coming from the PnP-Team and is unsupported by Microsoft.

So far this works well.
