I was asking my Chinese friend to share a picture of his office facilities just to validate the authenticity of the company. Just a first-level basic test, before we do official visits.
He did.
On their big office wall, they had a poster for one of their products.
It's a huge double-life size poster. There was a title & Model number of the product & the was a big paragraph describing the product - guess what?
it was "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
Apparently nobody validated the content before it went for the big print!
Or they really did and found it to be good? 
Okay not to mock at the Chinese. I've done/do gross mistakes with the language & my mates do it everyday. So no offense.

TBH, I was expecting an Easter Egg type response, but Google do seem to be losing their sense of humour these days.

As it is an internal poster and may have been a test print that they did not want to trash you may be doing them a disservice. OR it went completely through the process and only when they tried to distribute it did they realise it was a problem.

That was quick!
I figured it was an easy one, so it'd either survive all day or get solved fast, but that was faster than I expected - well done. 
I liked it though.
You are up tomorrow.

Recently a demon made me create a Core project, and then attempt to use it in a WinForms app. And, yes, I altered the project files of both to enable C# 8.
The Core project does nothing but define a stupid little Class with one method that writes to the Console..
So, okay, I add a reference to the Core project dll to the WinForm app. I attempt to use it ... well, I m not surprised it didn't work, but was surprised to get a file-not-found error:Quote: System.IO.FileNotFoundException HResult=0x80070002 Message=Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Source=TestUsingCore
StackTrace: at TestUsingCore.Form1.Form1_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in ...
So, I set out to do some research, came across this article by Scott Hanselmann: [^].
I have great respect for Scott, and have learned a lot from his writing over the years; however, this article, titled "How to reference a .NET Core library in WinForms - Or, .NET Standard Explained," ignores the question in the title and ends up recommending ".NET Standard" as if that explains anything.
Was Scott avoiding the simple answer that you cannot use a Core project/class in a WinForm app for some reason ? Well, okay, Scott wrote that in June, 2017: that's decades ago in .NET's evolutionary time-scale.
To turn my headache into a full-on migraine, I then re-read this article: "How to port desktop applications to .NET Core 3.0" [^].
Whaddya think ?

I can understand, once upon a time I found it confusing too, I remember....
But now, with the benefit of experience and understanding, I would say it's pretty neat and good.
Core is a Runtime... when an application is compiled for .NET Core it runs with the .NET core runtime....
Using a .NET Core library on another runtime (such as the .NET Framework) is a little bit of a gamble, I imagine.
.NET Standard is a, for lack of a better word, a "runtime contract" a .NET Standard library (only library, no executable) can be run by any runtime supporting this version (or above) of .NET Standard.
It replaces and simplify what was previously known as PCL (Portable Class Library, not really portable, more like multi targeting)
Hence if you want to make a library for multiple platform, make it a .NET Standard library.
.NET Core, by contrast, is a runtime, like Unity, (iOS, Android) Xamarin, .NET Framework.
And.. good luck with your experimentation! 
Hope it brings you some wins in the end!

 thanks, Lloyd, you make more sense than Scott did !
Given I am trying to use a compiled Core project (dll) in a WinForms project, do you think it possible that some modification could be made to the Core project so that it somehow included the necessary run-time ?
cheers, Bill

Thanks Bill!
I remembered being very confused by all the Microsoft document about all those runtimes thingy... Dunno why they do such a bad job of explaining it....
But ultimately once you play with it in Visual Studio it's not that hard...
To your question I am not sure how one would do it (using a .NET Core library in the .NET Framework app or vice versa) it seems hackish...
But why don't you do like Scott suggest? which is a very successful code sharing pattern in the latest .NET age!
I.e. make ALL your utility libraries .NET Standard libraries.
.NET Framework 4.7.2 and .NET Core 3 both support / implement .NET Standard 2.0. And .NET Standard 2.0 cover pretty much every multiplatform needs!
The only pain point I can think of is how about some WinForm code that would work on BOTH .NET Framework and .NET Core.
Dunno about that one, haven't done much home research lately...
Might have a go this weekend... "might" no promises..

Your WinForms project needs to be .NET Core to reference a .NET Core library. Referencing a .NET Core library from a .NET Framework project is not a supported scenario. It can go the other way though - a .NET Core project supports adding references to .NET Framework libraries, but keep in mind there may be a few APIs that aren't available in .NET Core. It's fairly rare that you'll run into this though.
Just remember - .NET Core new and backwards compat, .NET Framework old. You can't add a reference to a new .NET Core library from an old .NET Framework project. That would be like trying to add a reference to a .NET 4.7 library from a .NET 2.0 project...wouldn't work.

As for WinForm control library...
Damn... you could do that with PCL, compile for multiple targets!
But you can't.
Anyway as the other poster suggested, it seems like you can make a .NET Framework control library and use it in your .NET Core app!

Was it this demon per chance?!  
On a side note, Googling for "Thailand computer demon" brought me to this...
So pretty! I need some holidays now, haha

I assume the WinForms project is .NET Framework (it could be .NET Core since last month).
.NET Framework and .NET Core are not fully compatible and while I believe it's possible to reference .NET Core projects in .NET Framework and vice versa it's not recommended.
Instead, you should use .NET Standard, the common denominator between the two.
You can simply add a new project in Visual Studio and pick the "Class Library (.NET Standard)" template.
This project will be usable in .NET Framework and .NET Core projects (but it can't run on its own since it has no runtime).
Be sure to write your .NET Standard project in the correct version: .NET Standard | Microsoft Docs[^]

Since when do Linux and Mac natively support .NET Standard, and since when do all Servers inherently have it installed? It's almost as if people have specific use-case scenarios for requiring .NET Core...
