Blackbaud.AppFx.WebAPI.dll not supported in .NET Core?

Hi all, first post here.


We currently use the Infinity .NET SDK to integrate with BBCRM, specifically Blackbaud.AppFx.WebAPI.dll.


We are in the process of upgrading our application from .NET Framework to .NET Core, and I understand from our developers that Blackbaud.AppFx.WebAPI.dll isn't compatible with .NET Core.


Is this correct, and if so, how should we move forward?

    Hey Antony,

    Yeah .NET Core currently doesn't seem to work. What you could do is use web requests to communicate to the server (either through SOAP or REST). Not sure if this will work for you but it's really the only thing I could come up with.

    Here's a link that talks about how to craft HTTP requests to the AppFx service:

    Hi,

    Two years have passed - does anyone know if there are .NET Core replacements for Blackbaud.AppFx.WebAPI.dll? Or is the only alternative still to rewrite all the requests as SOAP requests? Thanks.
