AspNet Core

Generating to VueJs will now generate the MVC layer in AspNet Core 8. This has significant impact into existing applications. Please read the migration guide for more details.

Document conversion

Office document conversion and Pdf manipulation libraries have been excluded from the GenioServer project. This change affects both MVC and Vue targets since GenioServer is fully shared between them. The document conversion was refactored into a standalone REST service to be installed only when needed. The OpenDocument function that made use of it will now depend on 2 webadmin properties:

  • PreviewDocConvert: 0 to disable preview, 1 to enable
  • PreviewDocUrl: base url to the convertion service

Please refer to the readme present in the DocPreviewService for instalation and configuration instructions. At this time there is no alternative in Core for iTextSharp. Manual code that makes use of it should add needed package references on a project by project basis. Genio will no longer supply this dll with GenioServer.
