Devart is glad to announce the new versions of our ADO.NET providers and LinqConnect with support support for .NET Core platform.
.NET Standard Compatible Assemblies
Now you can use our products for developing .NET Core projects that can be used on a variety of platforms. dotConnect providers for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and LinqConnect now have both assemblies for Full .NET Framework and .NET Standard 1.3 compatible assemblies. Please note that .NET Standard 1.3 compatible assemblies are not included in the product installers and available only via NuGet packages available on www.nuget.org.
Since .NET Core is limited in comparison to Full .NET Framework, not all provider features, available for Full .NET Framework are also available for .NET Core. Namely, there are no DataSet and DataTable features, support for Sync Framework, Workflow Foundation, and Enterprise Library. You can see the full list of features, not supported on .NET Core, in the documentation of the corresponding provider.
Technical Licensing
.NET Standard compatible assemblies use different licensing mechanism than assemblies for Full .NET Framework. They use either license key files placed to a specific folder (C:\ProgramData\Devart\dotConnect\License\) or license keys provided as a connection string parameter. Note that trial license key files are generated by the trial installers of our products. If you want to try the .NET Standard compatible assemblies of our products, distributed via NuGet packages, you will still need to install the product in order to obtain the trial license key file. You can find more information about technical licensing in the documentation of our products.
