I have a .NET 6 assembly which is uploaded to nuget as a package, and another .NET Framework 4.8 assembly.

Can the .NET 6 assembly package be referenced in the .NET Framework 4.8 assembly, and can it run without generating any exceptions?

    Hi @Wonderful World ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    It will not work, but directly reference the .NET 6 assembly may work(instead of installing and referencing the NuGet package). Note, even if directly referencing the assembly works, it may also cause errors during developing and building.

    Best Regards,
    Tianyu
