Support for .NET 6.0 will replace support for .NET Framework 4.8. With 3.0, .NET Framework 4.8 will no longer be supported. This will be a breaking change.

3. Visual Studio 2017, 2019, and 2022

4. ArcGIS Pro 2.5 and .NET Framework 4.8

As with the release of ArcGIS Pro 2.5, the minimum .NET target was switched to 4.8, and is no longer 4.6.1. What does this mean for you and your add-ins?

  • Existing add-ins, already deployed, will work at 2.9 with no change to their forward compatibility.
  • Existing add-ins which are recompiled at 2.9 (e.g. because a code change was made) will also require the minimum target framework set to 4.8 or they will not compile. Note: As always, if an existing add-in is changed for any reason, the desktopVersion attribute in its Config.daml file should be changed to reflect the version of Pro it was last compiled against, in this case, now 2.9.

To migrate add-ins previously developed with 4.6.1 to 4.8, please consult technical support article How To: Convert a version 2.0 to 2.4 ArcGIS Pro SDK add-in solution to Pro 2.5 and later versions for more information

5. Target platform has changed from AnyCPU to x64

  • When recompiling add-ins made with previous versions, it is recommended that you change the Platform Target in Visual Studio from "Any CPU" to "x64".
  • Also starting at 2.8, when opening a user control .xaml using the Visual Studio Designer, it could result in the error "Could not load file or assembly 'ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework".

    Please refer to the ArcGIS Pro FAQ for more information.
