full list see target frameworks.

the common tfms asp.net app developers need know are:

• netcoreappx.y = application targets .net core x.y (e.g. netcoreapp1.0 = .net core 1.0)
• netstandardx.y = library targets .net standard x.y. (e.g. netstandard2.0 = .net standard 2.0). .net standard libraries can work on desktop .net, windows phone, mono, , others.
• net4xy = library or console app targets desktop .net framework 4.x.y (e.g. net452 or net46)
