Migration from Microsoft.Azure.DocumentDB to Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos package while current class library is in .NetFramwork 4.7.2

Question

My current project class library is in .Net Framework 4.7.2 (target framework) and we are using Microsoft.Azure.DocumentDB package. we have to update to version 3 of Azure cosmos db. due to that we are uninstalling Microsoft.Azure.DocumentDB package and installing Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos package.

Questions

1. Does we will be able to do update into Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos package with class library in .Net Framework 4.7 or Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos package only supporting ".Net standard" framework ?
   2)If Yes, then while migrating code we are getting "Inaccessible due to protection level error" in number of places.
   3)If No, then does we need to change class libaray from .Net framework 4.7 to .Net Standard to migrate code ?

Answer 1

You can continue to target .NET Framework 4.7. You only need include .NET Standard in your project. See this passage below from our article, Migrate your application to use the Azure Cosmos DB .NET SDK v3

The SDK targets .NET Standard 2.0 that unifies the existing Azure Cosmos DB .NET Framework and .NET Core SDKs into a single .NET SDK. You can use the .NET SDK in any platform that implements .NET Standard 2.0, including your .NET Framework 4.6.1+ and .NET Core 2.0+ applications.

I can't say why you are experiencing access errors. I would check the modifiers on your classes and variables, more details here
