Hi there, I just have a question about RhinoCommon’s nuget package versioning. I’m working on a C# plugin, and I’ve noticed that in certain situations–like for instance you use WPF in the plugin project–if RhinoCommon.dll
is in the output directory next to the plugin .rhp
, when Rhino loads the plugin it will show an error message directing you to not put RhinoCommon there. This seem to prevent Rhino from linking to the actual nuget package .dll
and instead linking to the RhinoCommon.dll
found in Rhino’s installation directory. What then is the purpose of the various versions of the RhinoCommon nuget package?
What I suspect is that the nuget package’s RhinoCommon.dll
is basically treated as a “header”, showing what classes and methods are available in RhinoCommon, but never actually being linked to during execution. This suggests that the nuget RhinoCommon version doesn’t really matter for actual behaviour of the plugin. Is this the case?
Now what I’m wondering about is the following situation. Suppose we’re dealing with two different minor versions of Rhino8: Rhino.8.A and Rhino.8.B, where B is newer than A (A < B). Suppose I develop a plugin and test it using Rhino8.A and then someone with a newer install of Rhino8.B uses it. Is there the possibility that the plugin might have different behaviour/just not work? Or is RhinoCommon consistent between minor versions?
