VS 2015 CTP 6 - Can I target full asp.net 5 and reference local .net 4.5 projects?

I am trying to get a basic asp.net 5 project running and the 1st issue is I can't seem to reference a .net 4.5 project that represents my data orm layer (NOT EF).

Does CTP6 only support .net core or can I tell it I want to use full? I think I'm on CTP6 but don't know how to tell. The vs about just says ctp.

Has anybody gotten an asp.net 5 project to work referencing another local (non nuget) .net 4.5 project?

Sure, you can reference 4.5 class library from your solution, just add the reference as you do in old fashion and VS will update your project.json and create a wrap project in wrap folder, it will update the global.json too

global.json sample

{
    "sources": [
        "src",
    "wrap"
    ]
}

wrap project .json sample

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "frameworks": {
    "net45": {
      "wrappedProject": "../../YourWrappedProject/YourWrappedProject.csproj",
      "bin": {
        "assembly": "../../YourWrappedProject/obj/{configuration}/YourWrappedProject.dll",
        "pdb": "../../YourWrappedProject/obj/{configuration}/YourWrappedProject.pdb"
      }
    }
  }
}

project.json

{
   ...

    "frameworks": {
        "net45": {
            "dependencies": {
                "YourWrappedProject": "1.0.0-*"
            }
        },
        "aspnet50": {
            "dependencies": {
                "YourWrappedProject": "1.0.0-*"
            }
        },
        "aspnetcore50": {
            "dependencies": {
                "YourWrappedProject": "1.0.0-*"
            }
        }
    }
}

And you can target core and/or full and/or 4.5 in an ASP.Net 5 class library
