Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells for .NET.

Yes, Aspose.Cells for .NET does support .NET 4.0 and there are no issues with .NET framework 4.0.

Please download and use the latest version:

Aspose.Cells for .NET 7.2.1


Please use the DLL under the directory “net2.0” and not “net3.5_ClientProfile”.

And please check the readme.txt under the directory
“Bin”.

Please see this image for more help.

Will this approach work on a server where only .NET 4.0 (and no trace of .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5) is installed?


If not: when will actual, real, native .NET 4.0 binaries be available for Aspose.Cells?

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.

Yes, it should work fine without any problem.

.NET 4.0 and .NET 2.0 binaries match exactly, because .NET 4.0 Framework has been built on the top of the .NET 2.0 Framework.

If you encounter any problem, let us know, we will look into your issue and advise you asap.

Hi,


Yes, as Shakeel Faiz has rightly said, please use the Aspose.Cells.Dll version under .net2.0 folder that works fine on .NET 4.0 framework.

Moreover, please check the topic:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/cellsnet/Using+Aspose.Cells+component+on+32+bit+and+64+bit+Platforms

We have three .NET framework compiled versions:
1) .net 1.x → it is used for for .net1.x frameworks.

2) net2.0 → that is compiled for any CPU (32bit or 62 bit). This library is for 32 bit and 64 bit systems or environments i.e…, for all kinds for frameworks which are equal or greater than 2.0, so this would work equally fine on .NET framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 etc.
3) net 3.5 client profile version…> which will work for .net3.5 and .net4.0 client profile framework versions.

Hope, you understand completely now.

Thank you.

I hate to disagree, but this statement:


.NET 4.0 and .NET 2.0 binaries match exactly, because .NET 4.0 Framework has been built on the top of the .NET 2.0 Framework.

is just not true.

While .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5 and .NET 3.5 SP1 were all just "add-ons" (addtional assemblies, based on the same CLR (Common Language Runtime) v2.0 as .NET 2.0), this is NOT true for .NET 4.0.

.NET 4.0 is a complete new beast - it comes with a brand CLR 4.0 and installs side-by-side with .NET 2.0

But on a machine that has nothing but .NET 4.0 installed, there is no CLR 2.0 available to run .NET 2.0 code. So my guess would be that Aspose products will NOT work under .NET 4.0 alone.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback and insight.

You should try the .NET 2.0 binary (dll) on the .NET 4.0 framework, if it does not work then please report to us.

We will log this issue in our database for investigation and resolve the problems.

Thanks for your cooperation.
