Get rid of pulling 100 dlls after migration from System.Data.SqlClient to Microsoft.Data.SqlCLient

[Rasic10]

We are in the process of migrating a .NET Framework application to .NET Core, aiming to support both platforms during the transition to ensure a seamless experience for our clients.

As part of this migration, we are upgrading from System.Data.SqlClient to Microsoft.Data.SqlClient to align with the latest standards and prepare the application for compatibility with .NET 9.

During the migration, we encountered an issue where additional assemblies are being included in the build output. These additional DLLs, which are introduced due to the dependency on Microsoft.Data.SqlClient, include:

• Microsoft.Win32.Primitives.dll
• netstandard.dll
• System.AppContext.dll
• System.Collections.Concurrent.dll
• System.Collections.dll
• System.Collections.NonGeneric.dll
• System.Collections.Specialized.dll
• System.ComponentModel.dll
• System.ComponentModel.EventBasedAsync.dll
• System.ComponentModel.Primitives.dll
• System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.dll
• System.Console.dll
• System.Data.Common.dll
• System.Diagnostics.Contracts.dll
• System.Diagnostics.Debug.dll
• System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.dll
• System.Diagnostics.Process.dll
• System.Diagnostics.StackTrace.dll
• System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener.dll
• System.Diagnostics.Tools.dll
• System.Diagnostics.TraceSource.dll
• System.Diagnostics.Tracing.dll
• System.Drawing.Primitives.dll
• System.Dynamic.Runtime.dll
• System.Globalization.Calendars.dll
• System.Globalization.dll
• System.Globalization.Extensions.dll
• System.IO.Compression.dll
• System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.dll
• System.IO.dll
• System.IO.FileSystem.dll
• System.IO.FileSystem.DriveInfo.dll
• System.IO.FileSystem.Primitives.dll
• System.IO.FileSystem.Watcher.dll
• System.IO.IsolatedStorage.dll
  ...
• System.Xml.XDocument.dll
• System.Xml.XmlDocument.dll
• System.Xml.XmlSerializer.dll
• System.Xml.XPath.dll
• System.Xml.XPath.XDocument.dll
• System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll

We are investigating ways to avoid these dependencies, any ideas?
