Update to .NET 5.0 preview ?

[zHaytam]

Hello!

I do plan to upgrade the library to use .NET 5 and especially CSS/JS Isolation, but I think it's better to wait for the official release, or maybe provide a preview package that users can choose to install.

In the meantime, you could:

1. Compile the project with .NET 5 like you did
2. Install it locally using something like nuget add Z.Blazor.Diagrams.4.0.0.nupkg -source d:\source\nuget_repo (of course you can change the directory of your local packages)
3. Go to VS and configure a new NuGet feed that points to that folder
4. Choose the new NuGet feed and Install the new version that you compiled

I hope this helps you!

Hi Haytam,

Thank you a lot for the quick and detailed answer ! I agree with you to wait for the release.
So far I have done the update on my existing project as the previews are released by MS and they are stable.
Besides a hardcoded tcp port (!!) that I had to manually kill that was released in the last preview, there are no other issues and it is pretty stable

I will try the technique you mention.
Thanks a lot and have a good weekend !

Just in case.... and if it can help anyone, for people playing with the last preview (5.0.0-rc.1.20451.14) I had to do this in the csproj:

kill-port 9300

That is the hardcoded port that MS released.
Happy coding !

Oh god, totally forgot about this...
I am currently using this library in a Blazor WASM project that uses .NET 5, so I believe you don't even need to build anything, just reference the library in your project.
