Support for .NET Core Data Provider V9

[chris_keating]

Hi,

an existing application does not work under .NET Core 9; under .NET Core 8 it works without any issues.

After reviewing information about the SQL Anywhere .NET Core Data Provider, there appears to be a possible connection.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79522937/net-9-0-compatible-sap-data-sqlanywhere-core-v2-1-dll
The problem is that in .NET 9.0, SQL Anywhere no longer correctly detects the platform bitness and tries to use a 32-bit DLL on a 64-bit platform.

Are there any plans support .NET Core 9 in a build > SQL Anywhere 17.0.11.8228?

Many thanks

Robert

I think this is related to a behaviour change in the .NET project behaviour in .NET 4.5 and later. Check the project settings for Build and uncheck the Prefer 32-bit if set.  If you are building from the command line, I am not sure what option you need to adjust.

Thank you Chris,

we tried the uncheck the "Prefer 32-bit" switch, and other things on command line also, but nothing helps.
So I had to open an incident with support. I'll enter the outcome here.
