I’ve got notes from Insights 2024 that Epicor 2024.1 was supposed to support C# version 10.8… We’re on 2024.2, and our developer just sent me this:
I’ve verified BPMs only supports 6.x, Andris. And it looks to me like it’s not a .Net issue or compiler capability issue, but looks to be Epicor locking the language to 6.x. Not sure if there’s a config change to override that.
Suggestions?
it is locked because BPM and functions during development are compiled on the client which is .NET Framework.
I assume it can be changed when we switched to browser UI in BPM and functions.
Server code itself is using the latest C#.
Thanks, Olga. We’ll try the browser.
FYI - Our developer said that functions (guessing on the client) supported 10+.
it won’t chnage anything now, when both clients are supported.
Interesting, I will check that.
Functions are on 7 though.
yes, google says that
The .NET Framework 4.8, which is the last version of the .NET Framework , supports C# 7.3, and newer versions of C# are only available in the newer .NET platform.
so technically BPM also could use that version
It always has annoyed me how BPMs and functions are on different language levels.
So we’re limited to C# 6 for BPM’s and C# 7.2 for functions in 2024.1 through 2025.2? I must have gotten confused at Insights last year. Not unusual when I’m drinking from a fire hose!
And once Epicor goes browser-only in 2026.1, we’ll be able to use C#12 (from .Net 8)?
correct.
I don’t know yet. Also at that point it will be .NET10.
