How to configure/assemblies needed for .Net Core?

[Marianne]

I have a large project coming up that will be a combination of ASP.net core and .Net core console applications to generate various types of documents for customer consumption.  I am trying to take this time now to learn how to use the Telerik document libraries.  This page seems to imply that there are specific libraries for .net core https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/getting-started/first-steps.

Using nuget, I added Telerik.Documents.Core, Fixed, Flow, Flow.FormatProvideders.PDF to the project..  But when referencing the libraries in the Program.cs using section, it will only autofill Telerik.Documents.Core and Telerik.Zip.  Visual Studio 19 does not recognize.Fixed or .Flow libraries.

If I change to the telerick.windows versions of the libraries, VS does add all the libraries without a problem to the application.  it compiles but when executing, it throws an error as missing libraries.

What am I missing?  Should we only create standard .net console apps & only use the .net core libraries when integrating with asp.net core applications?

Hi Marianne,

If you want to use Telerik Document Processing libraries in an ASP.NET Core application you will need to use the .NET Standard assemblies version. I tried to reproduce the described behavior but I am not sure what is the exact setup of the mentioned project so I would like to ask you to send us a sample project in order to investigate this behavior.

Examples of using the Telerik Document Processing libraries together with the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core you can find here:

• SpreadProcessing: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/spreadprocessing/index
• SpreadStreamProcessing: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/spreadstreamprocessing/index
• WordsProcessing: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/wordsprocessing/index
• Zip Library: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/ziplibrary/index
• PdfProcessing: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/pdfprocessing/index

More information about the specifics and limitations when using .NET Standard assemblies you can find in each library`s Cross-Platform Support help article (e.g. WordsProcessing`s Cross-Platform Support).

More console application examples (both using .NET Framework and .NET Standard assemblies) you can find in our GitHub repository: telerik / document-processing-sdk.
