Can someone provide the link for NETStandard.Library 1.6.1 source code? I'm not able to find it anywhere. I need this really urgent. Please help.
I could find the source code for NETStandard.Library 2.1.0 (https://github.com/dotnet/standard/archive/refs/tags/v2.1.0.zip)
It is also enough if someone can help me with the commit Id of this commit (NETStandard.Library 1.6.1)

Sorry 1.6.1 predates GitHub. 2.0 was the first GitHub release.
The source is not particularly interesting. It just a specification of api’s (no code) to build a library used to resolve compile references. There is no more information than any library inspector would give.
At runtime the actual hosting implementation of .net standard 1.6.1 is used, not the library used for the compile.
Thanks for your response. The company where I work, makes sure all the legal procedures are followed while using a third party software. In our project, we are using SpreadsheetGear 3PP which is automatically using the NETStandard library 1.6.1. So for them to productify this 3PP, they need the source code. Is there any other channel to find the source code if not Github?
there is no source code for NETStandard library 1.6.1. it is just a specification. The actual source code for it will depend on what O/S and .net framework is running the application.
if you are using a mono app on a MAC or mobile device, the mono runtime is the source. If you are running on windows on the .net 4.8 framework, the 4.8 framework code is the source.
mono runtime:
windows. Microsoft does not release the full source for the 4.* frameworks, but it does have non buildable source for inspection:
https://referencesource.microsoft.com/download.html
note: the netstandard code is just generated interface and class definitions. the methods are defined with no code to implement them. this is because no running app uses the .netstandard library, it is only used for compile.
This helps a lot. Thanks for your prompt response.
