As of 2/1/2020, we will start deprecating all C# .Net 4.5 (multi-file) SDKs. Our C# 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 .Net Standard 2.0. For those not aware, this works across many platforms (like our C SDK), assuming some conditions are met. While all API functions/callbacks are the same, internally there has been a complete re-write of all communication drivers (USB, IP, Serial). This should provide a new level of robustness.
Quick 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
- The new minimum .Net standard is 4.6.1. Previously, the SDK was at 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 versions.
- 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.
