When I try to use your brilliant customised settings provides in my WPF project with .NET Core 3.1, it will have the following warning:

Package 'PortableSettingsProvider 0.2.3' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8' instead of the project target framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v3.1'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

Although I do not encounter any compatibility issues for now, is there any plan to support the .NET Core framework?

Hi,
i tried to use your nuGet pakage.
Iam on Visual Studio 2019 with a Windows Forms App on .NET 4.5.

I added
PortableJsonSettingsProvider.SettingsFileName = "settings.config";
PortableJsonSettingsProvider.ApplyProvider(Properties.Settings.Default);

to my Main() class, created 3 settings and tried to change them via code. I noticed that the settings.config file will not be created in the applications folder.
Conclusion it cannot be used to change the settings in the app folder...
I dont get any errors... it just wont work...

I tried both, your XML classic version and the new json version... nothing works

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hello
A method setXmlValue throws XmlException when serialized value is empty string.

The test case is in the attachment.

To fix, in PortableSettingsProvider.cs change
if (value.SerializedValue == null) serialized = new XText("");
to
if ((value.SerializedValue is string && String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value.SerializedValue as string)) ||value.SerializedValue == null) serialized = new XText("");

I occasionally get error in telemetry reports that settings file is corrupted if user shuts down computer while program is running. I already have in place shutdown blocking - program blocks shutdown with ShutdownBlockReasonCreate, runs Properties.Settings.Default.Save(); and then removes the shutdown block with ShutdownBlockReasonDestroy. I know that the user didn't press "shut down anyway" because the Serilog logs a message that the ShutdownBlockReasonDestroy was reached and completed, and that log is saved to disk and properly flushed, but for some reason the settings are not consistently saved.
Is there a way to ensure that settings are saved?
I am using PortableJsonSettingsProvider 0.2.1 from Nuget

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public extern static bool ShutdownBlockReasonCreate(IntPtr hWnd, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string pwszReason);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public extern static bool ShutdownBlockReasonDestroy(IntPtr hWnd);

Right now there are two classes (one for each project) which have mostly the same code.
Maybe implement an abstract class and let the two specialized classes inherit to make changes easier.
In commit/pull request #1 I had to add/edit 6 lines instead of 3.
