Hello everyone,
While reviewing the documentation about Automation Scripts, I couldn’t find any information about the Visual Studio or .NET development requirements. The documentation mainly describes how to run an automation script in the Dataminer Cube, but not how to develop one with visual studio.
https://docs.dataminer.services/dataminer/Functions/Automation_module/Using_CSharp_code_in_Automation_scripts.html
My question is:
Is it possible to write an Automation Script using .NET Framework 10 (for example), or any version higher than 4.8?
From the documentation, it seems that newer Dataminer versions only specify the supported .NET version for execution, not for development?
https://docs.dataminer.services/dataminer/Reference/DataMiner_Compute_Requirements.html?q=net%20framework
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ömer,
Automation scripts are compiled and executed agains the .NET framework version used by DataMiner. Which version that is exactly can be found here: https://docs.dataminer.services/dataminer/Reference/DataMiner_Compute_Requirements.html?#microsoft-net.
Scripts that target .NET 5/6/7/8/10 or any version higher than .NET Framework 4.8 are currently not supported.
Because scripts are always compiled on the DataMiner server itself, the supported .NET Framework version applies to both development and execution.
It is therefore important to use the same .NET Framework version during development to avoid compatibility issues and unexpected compile errors when deploying the script.
Kind regards,
Tom
We are indeed working on supporting newer versions of .NET in the future, but there is no timeline yet.
Thank you for your answer,
Are there any updates that could be supported in the future?
