Hi Oli,

a user commented on this video recently:

Is it possible to use it in a .net6 winform project?
Is there any example?
Thank you.

Could you give us some guidance on how to achieve this? Maybe from a generic perspective?

Bernd

.NET 5/6 means .NET Core. The xServer control is .NET Framework only.

Just found these articles from 2021:
https://xserver.ptvgroup.com/forum/view ... core#p4223
https://xserver.ptvgroup.com/forum/view ... f=5&t=1082

So the conclusions would be:

go for a browser control based integration
evaluate dedicated .NET Core mapping controls from third parties
not recommended: evaluate the inofficial fork at your own risk

Right?
