.NET certified - Linux

Our OPC UA client part consists of 1) the OPC UA .NET Stack and (parts of) client library from OPC Foundation, and 2) our own high-level classes on top of it.

Our own classes wouldn't probably be be so much of a problem - even if they don't work right away on other .NET implementations, it should be relatively easy to resolve it. But, as far as I know, the OPC UA .NET Stack has some dependencies on things that do not exist on Mono; as to the .NET Core, this is fairly new and I haven't heard about anybody trying. What precisely these problematic dependencies are, I do not know; I can guess that it has to do with WCF, and some crypto functions.

Best regards

Thanks for the update!

I understand you do not - at this point - officially support .NET on Linux via Mono or MS Core FX for Linux.

Let's say, I want to try it myself - do you think it is worth pursuing or can you see immediate obstacles, ie hard dependencies on MS Windows?

Many thanks!!

Dear Sir,

it is correct that there is no need for COM/DCOM in OPC UA, and in corresponding part of our QuickOPC product.

The certification we have is for compliance with OPC UA standards, it is not related to the development/operating technology such as .NET.

Unfortunately, we currently do not support Mono or .NET Core. We also have no fixed plans to support them, although the decision will be re-evaluated from time to time.

Best regards

Hello,

I am currently researching OPC connectivity software, SDKs and toolkits and came across QuickOPC - it sounds all very good and interesting! I wonder though, since it is fully .NET certified (I understand, no need for COM/DCOM) - would it also work on Linux, e.g. using Mono or MS open source .NET core on Github?
