Support for Microsoft .Net 6.0

[mhpcto]

It turns out that Microsoft has discontinued support for Netcore 3.1 starting with Ubuntu 22.04 (previous version of Ubuntu supported both 3.1 and 6.0)

It turns out that Netcore 6.0 is not supported and Dyalog is looking for Netcore 3.1.0

It was not possible to find any compatible framework version
The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '3.1.0' (x64) was not found. Ins
- The following frameworks were found:
6.0.6 at [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

You can resolve the problem by installing the specified framework and/or SDK.

The specified framework can be found at:
- https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?fr ... .22.04-x64

Are there any plans to support Netcore 6.0?

Hello,

We will be supporting .NET 6.0 "out of the box" with the next version of Dyalog, 19.0 (I cannot say yet when that will be available).

Until then it should be possible to move to .NET 6.0 by making minor changes to some of Dyalog's configuration files. We cannot formally support this route, but I don't think there will be any problems.

In the dyalog installation you will see files called:

Dyalog.Net.Bridge.deps.json
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.runtimeconfig.json

Each of these files contains version strings which will include the fragment "3.1". Change those "3.1"s to "6.0"s and you should be good to go.

The following are the changes I made:

Dyalog.Net.Bridge.deps.json: "name": ".NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0",
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.deps.json: ".NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0": {
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.runtimeconfig.json: "tfm": "netcoreapp6.0",
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.runtimeconfig.json: "version": "6.0.0"


Best Regards

That does indeed work.

Thanks.

I haven't tried much (just []NEW System.DateTime and System.Environment.Version) but it seems to work with .NET 7.0 as well. Nice :)
