Repository Layout

This repository contains projects for .NET and .NET Framework. It is organized as follows:

.
├── .editorconfig (configuration for visual studio)
├── README.md (this file)
├── dotnet/ 
    ├── src/
        ├── dotnetcommon/ (Shared projects that build for both TargetFrameworks: dotnet and dotnetcore)
        ├── dotnetcore/ (.NET projects, several of these projects link sources from dotnetframework)
        └── dotnetframework/ (.NET Framework projects)
    ├── Directory.Build.props (default configuration for projects, imported early in the import order)
    ├── Directory.Build.targets (configuration for particular projects, imported late in the build order)
    ├── DotNetStandardClasses.sln (solution to build all the projects)
    └── StandardClasses.ruleset (Code analysis rulesets)

How to build

Requirements

  • Visual Studio 2022 (17.8 or higher).
  • .NET 6 & .NET 8
  • .NET Framework 4.7 DevPack

Instructions

For the following steps must be executed from inside dotnet directory: c:\DotNetClasses>cd dotnet

How to build all projects?

  • dotnet build DotNetStandardClasses.sln

How to build a specific project?

  • dotnet build project.csproj

How to test your changes with a GeneXus installation?

  • dotnet msbuild /p:TF=net462 /p:DeployDirectory=C:\KB\CSharpModel\web\bin DotNetStandardClasses.sln

It compiles the solution and copies all the .NET Framework assemblies to the folder C:\KB\CSharpModel\web\bin.

  • dotnet msbuild /p:TF=net6.0 /p:DeployDirectory=C:\KB\NetModel\web\bin DotNetStandardClasses.sln

It compiles the solution and copies all the .NET 6 assemblies to the folder C:\KB\NetModel\web\bin.

  • TF: target framework that will be deployed. Valid values are: net462 (for GeneXus NET Framework generator) and net6.0 (for GeneXus NET generator).
  • DeployDirectory: specifies the target directory to copy assemblies.

Advanced information

Replacing standard classes mechanism

How to compile an assembly and replace it in a GeneXus generated application.

Suppose you do a fix in GxClasses project. In order to get that fix in your generated application follow these steps:

  1. Set AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile property in Directory.Build.props with the full path of your .snk file. It is required to set a strong name for the assembly.

    • A new .snk file can be created with the command sn.exe -k keyPair.snk
  2. Build DotNetStandardClasses.sln and copy DotNetClasses\dotnet\src\dotnetframework\GxClasses\bin\Release\net462\GxClasses.dll to your <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin directory

  3. Patch all the <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin assemblies to reference the new GxClasses.dll. To do this run UpdateAssemblyReference tool with the following parameters UpdateAssemblyReference.exe -a <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin\GxClasses.dll -d <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin

  4. Since GxClasses references other assemblies, it is needed to keep that references unchanged. So this command will patch the new GxClasses.dll to reference the original ones:

    UpdateAssemblyReference.exe -a <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin\GxCryptography.dll -d <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin UpdateAssemblyReference.exe -a <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin\GxCryptographyCommon.dll -d <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin UpdateAssemblyReference.exe -a <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin\GxEncrypt.dll -d <KB>\CSharpModel\web\bin

  5. Execute the web application.
