Title: Add-In in net core 6.0?
Post by: Helmut Ortmann on January 15, 2022, 03:06:35 am

Hello,

Is it possible to run a net core 6.0 AddIn instead of a net framework AddIn?

For the time being, I have developed with NET Framework. It runs pretty well.

Now I'm thinking it is possible to use NET CORE to write the AddIn. In principle, NET CORE supports COM.

Any ideas or experiences?

Best regards,

Helmut

Not tried it before.

Why would you want that? (I'm curious if there is a big advantage to using net core over .Net Framework)

Hello Geert,

yes, I agree. My AddIns also run pretty well.

For me there are two reasons to give it a try:

• Curiosity
• net core is the long term strategy of Microsoft

Thanks and best regards,

Helmut

Hello,

The answer from SPARX report: No net core

It has to be:  Full Net Framework.   

Best regards,

Helmut

If i had a feature request, it would be to add Javascript support for external support scripts by packaging the SpiderMonkey JavaScript Shell that is part of the SpiderMonkey library, as a separate command line binary with EA.
