Hey,

We will soon need to migrate our WPF Desktop Application to .Net core, which according to the .Net Portability Analyzer the client side assembly does not support the Core API's.

Are you planning on updating the Infralution.Licensing.WPF assembly to use the .Net Core API's?

Best regards,
Bill

I don't have a time frame for this yet - but it is something that we are looking into. We have really been waiting to see whether their would be user demand for this

Hey,

It would be great if you can consider it!

We absolutely love your licensing integration and would also love to continue with your product and also willing to support an upgrade cost for migrating to .Net Core when the time comes.

As you are aware, we are being forced by Microsoft to engage in a migration from WPF .Net Framework to Core within the next 12-18 months or risk being left behind way too far by Microsoft for a very large product that has a customer base that must be maintained for the next 10 years.

Best regards,

Bill

Yeah, I'd like to throw my hat in on this one, too. It'd be great if you guys are moving to .NET Core, because a lot of my own code is going that way too, and I'm currently looking at your product for purchase...

Thanks. My understanding was that the WPF and Windows Forms support on .NET Core is still pretty immature - how have you found it?

This is mature enough that many third party tools and library developers have already migrated to .Net Core. Microsoft and many others including Telerik have already placed their .Net Framework developments in "maintenance" mode as .Net Core is the technology that everybody is targeting. What support there is for WPF in .Net Core is stable and what isn't there is either supported by other outside developments such as Workflow or it won't ever be supported. Microsoft is also bridging WPF with the new WinUI framework.
