ArcGIS Pro 2.7 SDK for .NET
Requirements
The requirements for the machine on which you develop your ArcGIS Pro add-ins are listed here.
.NET Framework 4.8:
- Since ArcGIS Pro 2.5, the minimum .NET target has been 4.8. What does this mean for you and your add-ins?
- Existing add-ins, already deployed, will work at 2.7 with no change to their forward compatibility.
- New add-ins created at 2.7 will require the minimum target framework set to 4.8 or they will not compile (this is the default setting in the Pro SDK).
- Existing add-ins which are recompiled at 2.7 (e.g. because a code change was made) will also require the minimum target framework set to 4.8 or they will not compile. Note: As always, if an existing add-in is changed for any reason, the desktopVersion attribute in its Config.daml file should be changed to reflect the version of Pro it was last compiled against, in this case, now 2.7.
To migrate add-ins previously developed with 4.6.1 to 4.8, please consult technical support article How To: Convert a version 2.0 to 2.4 ArcGIS Pro SDK add-in solution to Pro 2.5 and later versions for more information
