VS 2017.NET Core BinaryFormatter

Question

Are VS 2017 BinaryFormatter tools released in the .NET Framework? When I create the .NET Core console application, I cannot find the BinaryFormatter. There are many Nuget packages, but which one is the right one to get a working BinaryFormatter with .NET Core?

By the way, it’s a little awkward to create a project with Visual Studio that doesn’t compile. I need to run the cmd shell where my .NET Core console application is located, and

dotnet restore 

to make it compile. Did I miss the VS command in the links menu?

Using Install-Package BinaryFormatter gives me an exception

Here is the nuget package that says it also supports the kernel:

 Install-Package BinaryFormatter 

I'm not sure if this contains what you need, but System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters is also

 Install-Package System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters 

These packages work with. Net-Core 1.0, so that they can work with the environment 1.1, you will need cross-matching, you can refer to this main question
