General

List & Label is supporting .NET Core 3.1 and also .NET 6 and .NET 7. In addtion to the .NET Framework 4.7 assemblies in diretory ..\Samples\Microsoft .NET\.NET Framework 4\Assemblies\ also for .NET Core 3.1 in directory ..\Samples\Microsoft .NET\.NET Core 3.1\Assemblies\ and for .NET 6 in directory ..\Samples\Microsoft .NET\.NET 6\Assemblies\. For .NET 7 please use the assemblies from .NET 6. However we recommend using the NuGet Packages instead of the local references.

 

Platform Independence

.NET Core has the significant advantage that it aims at platform independence in order to be able to run applications not only on Microsoft Windows systems. Since List & Label interacts strongly with the Microsoft Windows system and its resources (e.g. printer driver system etc.) List & Label cannot fulfill this platform independence despite the support of .NET Core and still requires a Windows system.

 

Known Limitations

The List & Label component also contains a visual control that cannot be used:

• DesignerControl

 

As part of the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE, a separate DataSource component is supplied, which can be placed primarily as a UI control, e.g. on a WinForm and also offers so-called SmartTags within the Visual Studio IDE. The data providers and components used there cannot be used in this context:

• DataSourceDataProviders
• DataSource
• AccessDataSourceDataProvider
• XmlDataSourceDataProvider (Note: the default dataprovider for XML data sources XmlDataProvider can be used indenpendently of the DataSource component!)
• SqlDataSourceDataProvider (Note: the default dataproviders for SQL databases such as SqlConnectionDataProvider or DbCommandSetDataProvider can be used indenpendently of the DataSource component!)
• ObjectDataSourceDataProvider (Note: the default dataprovider for object data ObjectDataProvider can be used indenpendently of the DataSource component!)
