I want to write a client application which will work with Azure Storage to upload, download or update blobs in container. I want that, this client application should be compatible with any .Net implementation irrespective of the version. As far as I can read, I find that the best is to use .Net Standard to write the client as it most compatible with other .Net implementations. I have been following below link mainly, but I see that in .Net Standard 2.0 version support list, .Net framework 4.8.2 is not listed. I have an application which is in .Net framework 4.8.2 and need to use the client to interact with Azure Storage. Can you please help me find out the best suited version in which I should write the client application. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard?tabs=net-standard-2-0#net-implementation-support

It does seem odd that that documentation omits 4.8.2, but maybe that's just reflecting the state when the documentation was written. I'd expect MS would ensure that all newer versions of .NET FW were .NET 2.0 standard compatible.
If you try it with your 4.8.2 application, does it work?
Thanks for your response, but I do not have the client yet. Before writing I need to figure out using which version I should write it. :)
Hang on a minute where's .NET Framework 4.8.2 coming from?

The is no .net 4.8.2 release and probably won’t be. 4.8 is mature and only receives security fixes. 4.8.1 was released to support arm64, the first major feature release in years. Without the arm64 release we would still be on 4.8.0. We will probably be on 4.8.1 for years as again it’s only security patches.
