Unable to create LINQPad connection EF Core 2.1.1
Options
I have a ASP.NET Core 2.1 web application that uses EF core 2.1 that I need to diagnose a LINQ issue with LINQPad. I have installed the latest LINQPad driver for EFCore 2.1.1.4 and when I try to create a new connection by browsing to the web site dll I get the below error:
LINQPad EF Core Driver X Assembly 'Debug\netcoreapp2.1\MyBlog.dll' is an .NET Core assembly. Your project must target either .NET Framework or .NET Standard 2.0.
As you can see this is a Net Core App 2.1, is this this issue? Or does someone know what might be the issue?

LINQPad doesn't support .NET Core. For it to work, you must change your EF Core project to target .NET Standard 2.0.

Thanks for the quick reply Joe. But I think I will have a problem as the EF Core code is within the ASP.NET Core 2.1 project.

Create a new .NET Standard 2.0 project, and put your EF Core classes there. You can then reference that assembly from both LINQPad and your ASP.NET Core project.
