ChartDirector for .NET 7.1 Released
Date: Jun-03-2023 01:41
Advanced Software Engineering is pleased to announce the immediate availability of ChartDirector for .NET 7.1.

ChartDirector for .NET 7.1 extends cross platform support to .NET 7 or later.

ChartDirector 7.0 supports cross platform usage up to .NET 6. In .NET 7, Microsoft discontinued the .NET graphics library System.Drawing.Common for non-Windows usage. As ChartDirector 7.0 depends on that library, it can no longer support non-Windows usage on .NET 7.

The ChartDirector 7.1 NuGet package now includes a ChartDirector edition that uses an alternative graphics library SkiaSharp distributed by Microsoft. For cross platform projects that target .NET 5 or later, Visual Studio will automatically use the SkiaSharp ChartDirector. There is no change for projects that are Windows only or target earlier .NET versions.
