Any news on this?

@jozefizso we would love to contribute to this, but i think we need some guidance on what to do which is a bit more detailed than the tasks listed above. Would you be able to spend 15 to 30 minutes with us to get us started? We can setup a teams meeting for this.
jozefizso commentedon Mar 4, 2023
Hi @samatrhea, it would be helpful to test the code from https://github.com/NetOfficeFw/NetOffice/tree/dev/net6 if it works for your product.
Unfortunately I can test it only on small samples and I don't have a real project running on .NET 6. One of the issues to solve would be Addins and the new hosting model in .NET 6.
Do you have Calendly so we can arrange a time for meeting?

@jozefizso - Can you provide build files that support .Net for now? The last shared ones are expired. Also just wanted to check if there is any timeline for the full release as well as you had mentioned that it may not be available for add-ins usage so any timeline for the same.
jozefizso commentedon Feb 27, 2024
Hi @ashishpCACTUS, the code is in the branch mentioned above.
There is no timeline for releasing the .NET Core build.

You can start testing the NetOffice libraries targeting .NET Framework 4.6.2, .NET 6 and .NET 8 in the release
2.0.0-preview20:https://www.nuget.org/packages/NetOfficeFw.Core/2.0.0-preview20
This release supports Office automation scenarios and also Office COM Add-ins. For the add-ins running on .NET 6 and 8 you must adopt the new tools for registering native comhost libraries.
A sample Word add-in for .NET 6 is at https://github.com/NetOfficeFw/NetOffice/tree/dev/dotnet/Examples/Word/WordAddinCore

Thank you for the support on this initiative. So fat I am trying to make it work with my legacy .NET Framework addins, but i cannot make it load a custom windowsForm UserControl into a CustomTaskPane, Whenever it is being called by the invoker (even if it gets successfully created) an error is generated by the COM Invoker, unfortunately I am not able to see the exception far from "Cannot create indicated ActiveX Control" Any idea, someone else has had a similar problem?

There was an discussion and people were managed to resolve all issues win .NET 5:
dotnet/winforms#4370
Maybe it's a good idea to contact them, at least @arknu.
DoctorMarvin21 commentedon Jul 10, 2024
UPD: I updated this project to use .NET 6 and everything worked in Excel and Outlook. It's could be used as a great example. I'm still not sure what exactly I missed in my project though.

Taskpane extension are still not possible to be done using .NET Core: dotnet/winforms#1763

Hi everyone,
Any news on this project since may?
We are updating all our applications to NET 9 and would like to have every library up to date as well.
Have a nice day
Kevin

Hi @kev-is-coding-for-adn, this project is open source and you can build it, modify it and verify if it works in your project targeting .NET 9.
So far it wasn't crucial to release a .NET Core specific libraries, as existing ones can be used.
And without support for the Taskpane Extensions in the .NET Code WinForms itself a significant use case is blocked in Core libraries.
