Dear community, I have installed Rider and went through the tutorial. At the step named Set the Target Framework, it suggests to select .NET Framework 4.8. However, Rider suggests net6.0 - would it be safe to use that instead, or is it incompatible?
Also, using the net6.0 target and the code from the tutorial, the build process yields a few warnings:
Please advise. -- Many thanks, Anton
I assume you are talking about using Rider, an .NET IDE, instead of Visual Studio for AutoCAD .NET API/Plugin development. While I have no experience of using Rider (or anything else than VS), it is CERTAIN that you MUST ONLY USE .NET Framework (4.7 or 4.8 for later versions of AutoCAD), and CANNOT use .NET core (.NET 5, 6, or upcoming 7), regardless whatever Rider suggests.
BTW, the last version of .NET Framework is 4.8. There nothing called "Framework" since .NET 5.
I would always using .NET Framewrok 4.8x for latest AutoCAD versions (say, after Acad2019), the C# version is determined by the .NET Framework. Yes, it sucks for not being able to take advantage of fancy features added to C# in later versions, only available with .NET Core (.NET 5, 6...), especially if one also does .NET core programming.

Framework 4.8 is no longer supported by Microsoft.
