Is support for .Net Framework 4.8 and under possible?

[ImmuneLion318]

Yes this question sounds dumb like who would be using .Net Framework still but I have reasons and I could really use if this supported that. Thanks

[zaafar]

Yeah this is dumb. However, I will give it a try to see if I can.

[ImmuneLion318]

sounds great keep me notified, but yea I accept how dumb this is.

[zaafar]

under possible

how much under you wanna go? or .Net Framework 4.8 is enough?

[ImmuneLion318]

under possible

how much under you wanna go? or .Net Framework 4.8 is enough?

4.8 is enough anymore is just complementary for anyone else lol but yea 4.8 is good

[ImmuneLion318]

Any luck or just gave up by this point lol

[zaafar]

I have some good news and some bad news.

good news is that net48 branch of this repo works with .net framework 4.8.

The bad news is that this branch is made from old code base (i.e. CTO 3.5.0) rather than the latest code (i.e. CTO 6.2.1). This is because latest code have some code that is only available in latest .net c# languages as shown in screenshot below.

[ImmuneLion318]

Ah my immediate solution would be set the Lang version in the csproj 11.0 but this is amazing already so thanks

[zaafar]

that's a good idea, here's another branch, see if it works for you. it support net48 and net7 with lang version 11.0.

Give me a bit my pc is unfortunately pretty bad so if it isn't getting via nuget and I have to build my vs has a stroke and just takes 10 years to do it lol

[zaafar]

I haven't released it on nuget yet. Let me do that now.

[ImmuneLion318]

i'd appreciate that it would make doing this a whole lot easier on my crappy pc lol

[ImmuneLion318]

just let me know when you push the nuget so i can download it to my project afk

[zaafar]

done. give 7.0.0 a try.

[zaafar]

hmm, looks like the deps i rely on aren't gonna work on .netframework 4.8.

[zaafar]

so this is the only branch that works & it contain old code. https://github.com/zaafar/ClickableTransparentOverlay/tree/f/net48

[ImmuneLion318]

Ok i'll give it a try now i'm on 4.8 i can go to 4.8.1 just fine

[ImmuneLion318]

unfortunately i forgot to install net framework 4.8.1 so let me grab it real fast

[ImmuneLion318]

I should have red about your deps i just tried via nuget and forgot lol and realized yea the constraints in deps

[ImmuneLion318]

Well i got it to start but it appears an exception is thrown

[ImmuneLion318]

[zaafar]

which branch are you using?

[ImmuneLion318]

The latest that builds on 4.8

[ImmuneLion318]

It appears create context is not doing so well at that lol

[ImmuneLion318]

I hate that this is causing you so much trouble if you wish to stop and just cease working on below .Net into framework then i'd understand it was just for a side project i had in framework.

[zaafar]

not a problem, let me make a nuget release from tag 3.5.0, that should fix your issue.

[zaafar]

i have just released version 3.5.1 on nuget. that should fix your issue.

[zaafar]

if that doesn't work, then i am out. not sure what else to do. maybe try to move to .net 6 or .net 7.

[ImmuneLion318]

I will look into when i'm home from class thanks again I usually use .Net 6/7 but this projects came with the need to use framework unfortunately

[ImmuneLion318]

in the 3.5.1 nuget release for me i'm lost rn lol, but it's fine you did work so it's my respect you've earned entirely
