If you just want to support an ASP.NET Core .NET Framework project and a .NET Core project (I.e. both ASP.NET Core projects) you can reference ServiceStack’s *.Core projects which only contains .NET Standard builds.

Alternatively you can avoid the binary coupling of sharing your ServiceModel.dll project and have the classic ASP.NET projects reference your DTOs via C# Add ServiceStack Reference.
