DocIO: ASP.NET Core version vs. ASP.NET MVC version

[Bruno Krebs]

Am I right to assume that the DocIO version for ASP.NET MVC (running on Windows) is better, more advanced, in comparison to the version available for .NET Core?

I would like to use DocIO on Mac for development and, if good enough, on Linux later on when running in production, but it looks like the .NET Core version is not as complete as the one for Windows.

If I'm mistaken, please, help me understand how to, for example, define what type of CSS export I want on .NET Core. Based on the docs, I could only find instructions for ASP.NET MVC: https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/docio/html

Thanks, Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

From the given details, we suspect that you are performing HTML conversions at your end using DocIO. We suggest you to use ASP.Net Core NuGet packages or assemblies to use DocIO on Mac and Linux environment. We have HTML conversion functionality same in both Windows and Core.

In ASP.Net Core there is some framework related limitations alone. But it generates the HTML as like .NET Framework only.
  1. XHTML Validations are limitations in that framework.
  2. For image retrieving from path, we recommend to use event approach to get the image file. Please refer here for more information.
  3. Also, HtmlExportImagesFolder, HtmlExportCssStyleSheetType¸ HtmlExportCssStyleSheetFileName, and HTMLExportImageAsBase64 are not supported in ASP.Net Core platform. DocIO default export the images as base64string in ASP.Net Core.

If you are facing some other issues in Asp.Net Core, please share us the complete details about the issue along with the input. Thereby, we will investigate further on your problem and share you the appropriate solution.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
