.NET Development Environment
This section explains how to set up a .NET development environment to employ this client.
Supported .NET Versions
The supported .NET versions are as follows:
| Product | Versions |
|---|---|
| .NET | 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 |
| .NET Framework | 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8, 4.8.1 |
| .NET Standard | 2.0, 2.1 |
Note
For server-side deployments, .NET 4.8 and .NET 6.0 are the supported versions.
Important
Ensure that you are using the JSON Serialization format for .NET 8.0, as BinaryFormatter Serialization methods are obsolete and prohibited in .NET 8.0. However, if you still want to use Binary Serialization, you can suppress the BinaryFormatter, as discussed here.
Install NuGet Packages for .NET Development Environment
NCache provides NuGet packages which contain client libraries to set up .NET development environment. To get started, you need to install the NCache SDK NuGet package.
