Compatibility with Blazor (Web Assembly)

#1

Hi there,

Blazor is looking like a promising and powerful technology that could drive a lot of .NET development. I was playing around with integrating Aspose.Cells and was disappointing to learn that the library can’t run in Blazor because it contains native code (See this for a similar error to what I get). Are there any plans to change this? It would be a very powerful feature if it were included.

Steps to reproduce:

Make sure you have preview 9 of dotnet

λ dotnet --version
3.0.100-preview9-014004

Download the templates so you can create the project

λ dotnet new -i Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Templates::3.0.0-preview9.19424.4
λ dotnet new blazorwasm -o AsposeOnBlazor

λ cd AsposeOnBlazor
λ dotnet add package Aspose.Cells

Add this to ./_Imports.razor:

@using Aspose.Cells

Now build the project
λ dotnet build

You should see error MSB3073.
