Release Notes

Red Software is excited to share a new BETA version of RAD PDF for use with ASP.NET Core!

ASP.NET Core is the new open-source web framework from Microsoft. While similar to ASP.NET, request processing is handled much differently. This new assembly is largely similar to the standard RAD PDF build with a few key differences:

• The PdfHttpHandler and web.config have been replaced with RadPdfCoreMiddleware - a single line of code in your Startup class configures and installs the needed listeners
• When using a custom session provider, AddSession() implementations need two parameters instead of one -  update your code to use AddSession(HttpContext context, PdfLiteSession session)
• When using a custom session provider, GetSession() implementations need two parameters instead of one - update your code to use GetSession(HttpContext context, string key)

This initial BETA release is compatible with ASP.NET Core 2.0 and higher.

Use of this assembly is included with a standard RAD PDF license and is subject to the EULA.
