The openclient is a good place to start fighting that battle. The entire goal of the openclient is to allow remote integrations that connect to Progress app server. If you don't support integrations from a netstandard library (ie. a library running on core) then it is not attaining its goal. From what I can tell, this could be a really easy fix. Even if they continue to target the .Net framework (4.6), I would be able to reference their openclient assembly and run it on core - as long as they comment out the odd references to OleDbException. Is source code for the .Net openclient available? I could do some of the leg-work to test it out on core. I believe the OleDbException is the only problem; but I never got by sample program to execute to completion so I can't be sure. I tried to use Telerik JustDecompile, but Visual Studio wasn't at all happy with the resulting project. There were really bad c# statements in there like "uint x = -1;". Im not sure how that Telerik tool can sleep at night after generating a line of code like that.
