- Alpine Linux 3.8+ (x64)
Based on your Linux distribution or macOS version and the fact that Aspose.HTML for .NET uses the System.Drawing.Common assembly, you may need to install additional dependencies. The list of all the supported distributions and additional dependencies can be found here for Linux and here for macOS.
Supported Frameworks
Aspose.HTML for .NET provides assemblies compiled for the following frameworks:
| .NET Standard |
|---|
| .NET Standard 2.0 |
Therefore it is compatible with:
| .NET Framework | .NET Standard | .NET Core | .NET |
|---|---|---|---|
| .NET Framework 4.6.1 | .NET Standard 2.0 | .NET Core 2.0 | .NET 5.0 |
| .NET Framework 4.6.2 | .NET Standard 2.1 | .NET Core 2.1 | |
| .NET Framework 4.6.3 | .NET Core 2.2 | ||
| .NET Framework 4.7 | .NET Core 3.0 | ||
| .NET Framework 4.7.1 | .NET Core 3.1 | ||
| .NET Framework 4.7.2 | |||
| .NET Framework 4.8 | |||
| .NET Framework 4.8.1 |
Due to the fact that some of the Microsoft libraries used by Aspose.HTML for .NET no longer support legacy frameworks, an error will be thrown when trying to compile using them. You can remove it in the following ways:
- Update to a newer framework.
- Hide it by writing “<PropertyGroup><SuppressTfmSupportBuildWarnings>true</SuppressTfmSupportBuildWarnings></PropertyGroup>” in the project file.
If you hide this error, then some functions of the library may not work correctly.
Development Environments
You can use Aspose.HTML for .NET to develop applications in any development environment that targets the .NET platform, but the following environments are explicitly supported:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2011
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2012
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2019
Trust Level
Generally, all Aspose .NET components require Full Trust permissions set. The reason is, Aspose .NET components need to access registry settings, system files, other than virtual directory, for certain operations, like reading fonts etc. Moreover, Aspose .NET components (including Aspose.HTML for .NET) are based on core .NET system classes, that also require Full Trust permissions set in many cases.
Internet Service Providers, hosting multiple applications from different companies, mostly enforce a Medium Trust security level. Such a security level may set the following constraints, which could affect the ability of Aspose.HTML for .NET to perform properly:
- RegistryPermission is not available. This means, you can’t access the registry.
- WebPermission is restricted. This means, your application can only communicate with an address or range of addresses, that you define in the
element. - FileIOPermission is restricted. This means, you can only access files in your applications virtual directory hierarchy.
Due to the reasons, specified above, it is recommended, that Aspose.HTML for .NET is run on servers granting Full Trust permissions.
