Repo:
Create new ASP.NET Core 2.0 webapp
Install API & CLI Package
dotnet initialize init
dotnet initalize build

=> open ElectronNET.Host.exe

Nothing happens :(

Do you add the UseElectron extension in Program.cs?

public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) => WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args).UseStartup<Startup>().UseElectron(args).Build();

And open a Window in Startup.cs?

Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync();

Works!

But: We need to add the UseElectron(args) method in your readme @GregorBiswanger (currently it is missing and without it, it doesn't work)

  public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseStartup<Startup>()
                .UseElectron(args)
                .Build();
