@dmitriyse please add reference to this pull request and issues from which you referred to this pull request.

- Added support for embedding python into dotnet core 2.0 (NetStandard 2.0)
- Added new build system (pythonnet.15.sln) based on dotnetcore-sdk/xplat(crossplatform msbuild).
Currently there two side-by-side build systems that produces the same output (net40) from the same sources.

@dmitriyse why did you augment assembly loading with this event, I cannot see the purpose of this.

if (importEvent.SkipAssemblyLoad)
{
return null;

@dmitriyse can you please add explanation for why you added check for isDynamic?

According to the documentation, GetExportedTypes() is not supported on dynamic types and will throw NotSupportedException

@Cronan good explanation! still maybe worth adding a comment about this. especially explaining the switch from GetTypes to GetExportedTypes for normal types.

@dmitriyse @Cronan ok, I see this comment in the header of the PR:

Assembly.GetTypes replaced to Assembly.GetExportedTypes. So we are really skipping non-public types now.
Type.IsNested types are excluded from the names collection that is used for implicit assembly loading.

@dmitriyse what do you mean by transitive dependencies?

I may be wrong, but ReflectionTypeLoadException is thrown by GetTypes() if any of the dependent assemblies can't be loaded (with a list of the loaded types), but GetExportedTypes() throws FileNotFoundException with no information. I'm not sure if TypeLoadException is thrown here.

@Cronan i think you are right about TypeLoadException -> ReflectionTypeLoadException, these are 2 different exceptions and I believe this was a typo from @dmitriyse:

@why is this nested check needed? should there be a test for this?
