Using the .NET Core Run Time

Earlier Jade Platform releases supported the .NET Framework only. Jade now supports the .NET Core runtime extension to the .NET Component and .NET Import functionality.

The [Jade] section of the jade.ini file now provides the UseDotnetCoreRuntime parameter, which enables you to execute .NET Core runtime functionality, including:

• Extending your applications by adding .NET controls to your forms

• Using the .NET Regex search engine

• Using existing .NET libraries for parsing and modifying Word documents, and so on

When the parameter is set to false, the .NET Framework is used. When it is set to true, libraries are imported into Jade using the .NET run time Reflection and JadeDotNetType proxies use the .NET runtime.

If you have set the UseDotnetCoreRuntime parameter to true, you can use .NET Framework 4.x components or any .NET (.NET Core) components up to and including .NET 8.
