.netcore support

[interfacemirror]

I want to use this project in a .NET core project. Is there other builds for this project to support .netcore?

Hi, same stuff.

[borseno]

I tried decompiling it and porting to .NET Standard. The issue is that the author used a tool to mess the code so that you can't read it after decompiling.

[borseno]

So the only working option would be to ask the author to port it to .NET Standard. I will try to contact them via all social networks that exist.

Hello. We will consider porting to .NET Standard. But it looks not trivial because it heavily relies on graphics of classical .NET framework. We cannot tell if and how fast we will do it.

Well I basically mean porting the core logic. I need to use AddEvent() AddProcess() etc methods. Then export it to xml. Isnt it trivial to port this core logic to netstandart?

This library has two parts: (1) rendering BPMN diagram as image, (2) writing BPMN diagram as XML. If you need simple writing, trivial recompilation of code might suffice. We may try to do it over next week. Device independent canvas rendering can be more challenging. If you need specific use case, you may commit e.g. test project where you would like to use the library.

@bzinchenko Can I just do like this:

Editor editor = new Editor();
editor.Create("BPMN Model", "User");

string id1 = editor.AddEvent(null, null, "Start Event", EventType.Start, EventTrigger.None, EventRole.None);
string id2 = editor.AddActivity(null, "Task 1", ActivityType.Task, ActivityMarker.None, TaskType.User, null);
string id3 = editor.AddActivity(null, "Task 2", ActivityType.Task, ActivityMarker.None, TaskType.Manual, null);
string id4 = editor.AddActivity(null, "Task 3", ActivityType.Task, ActivityMarker.None, TaskType.Service, null);
string id5 = editor.AddEvent(null, null, "End Event", EventType.End, EventTrigger.None, EventRole.None);
string id7 = editor.AddFlow(null, null, id1, id2, null, FlowType.Sequence, null, false, FlowDirection.None);
string id8 = editor.AddFlow(null, null, id2, id3, null, FlowType.Sequence, null, false, FlowDirection.None);
string id9 = editor.AddFlow(null, null, id3, id4, null, FlowType.Sequence, null, false, FlowDirection.None);
string id10 = editor.AddFlow(null, null, id4, id5, null, FlowType.Sequence, null, false, FlowDirection.None);

And call something like GenerateXML() with the info above and it would produce me some xsd schema?

I think so. But not on my side since I can't decompile the code because it was IL protected somehow. So this needs to be done on your side.

@bzinchenko Any update? Didn't .NET 5 bring missing API for easier port?

Actually, as I'm searching, it's the BPMN.Sharp I'm looking for. I've found closed issue from 4 years ago and you've said it's not open source.
