Note

As of 2/1/2020,  we will start deprecating all C# .Net 4.5 (multi-file) SDKs.  Our C# Visual Studio SDK will be like our C SDK, which means no more individual device SDK, instead a single combined SDK with documentation of all the device API calls. We will start supporting our new format, which is offer builds compiled for .Net 6.5.1, .Net Standard 2.0.  For those not aware, this works across many platforms (like our C SDK), assuming some conditions are met, .Net Standard 2.1 and .NetCore 3.1, allowing it to work across multiple platforms. While all API functions/callbacks are the same as the deprecated .Net 4.5 version, internally there has been a complete re-write of all communication drivers (USB, IP, Serial).  This should provide a new level of robustness.

Info
titleQuick Facts:
  • This is a single file SDK now (IDTechSDK.dll).  The only other file that is required is the NEO2_Devices.xml file that the SDK needs to utilize NEO2 devices over USB There are additional system dependencies that will be part of the NuGet installation process.
  • The new minimum .Net standard is 4.6.1.  Previously, the SDK was at  Anyone using the deprecated version who targeted .Net 4.5 .  This should not provide an issue for our customers, as anybody that is using 4.5 has access to 4.6.1 on their OS.  For customers that insist on staying at 4.5, they can continue to use the deprecated versionsmust now increase the minimum support level. If this is not an option, the legacy version will be available for continued use.
  • This SDK should support all devices, all interfaces, all modes.  For example, SRED2 is now support for both KB/USB, XML,Original,Enhanced output, and it can now capture swipe data of USB-HID
  • The policy going forward will be for developers/integrators to get the SDK off of NuGet.
