Error connecting to Postgres database from UWP application

Question

Trying to connect to a Postgres database from a UWP app using Npgsql and getting an error loading the following assembly:

"System.Net.Security, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

And this is the exact exception:

{System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Security, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.

This is a known issue, see https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/issues/820.

Unfortunately you'll have a few months until UWP supports netstandard20, at which point this will go away.
