Vault 2025 Extension / .NET 8.0

[mwillia1]

Has anyone gotten a Vault 2025 Extension to load using .NET "Core"?

If I take a working .NET Framework extension and convert it to .NET 8.0 with all the same assembly attribute and .vcet.config then nothing happens.  The extension never loads, and I don't get any errors.

I have tried with dotNameRuntime missing ("Any") and set to "Core".  Nothing seems to help.

Is there another trick I'm missing?

This goes for Explorer Extensions and Job Handler Extensions.

Thanks,

Vault Explorer and Job Handler extensions continue consuming .NET Framework. The .NET Core SDK is added to support application extensions that moved to .NET Core like Inventor or AutoCAD 2025.

Does this mean that a Vault Explorer extension project using the IExplorerExtension interface cannot be a .net core project?

@mfoster9TD82: Yes, Vault Explorer 2025 extensions (including custom jobs) continue using the .NET Framework. Please, visit the feedback portal to get more details on future changes.
