Connect to SQL database with .net 8.0

[CBennett34F8SS]

I have a command that will pull data from a SQL database and import it into a title block.  This worked fine in .net framework.  I recently migrated to 2025 and .net 8.0 and I am getting the following error: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient is not supported on this platform.'

I created a test console app in .net 8.0 and I am able to pull data from that database that way.  Has anyone else run into this issue?

nevermind I found it,  for some reason Microsoft.Data.SqlClient is not choosing the correct runtime .dll to load.  I specified it in my project file with <RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>  and it is now working again.

Perhaps this article by Madhukar Moogala  @moogalm will help those with an SQL issue.

<RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier> was the Solution!
