Introduction

Welcome to IPWorks EDI, a suite of enterprise-class software components that facilitate Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) mapping and translation (X12 & EDIFACT), as well as the transmission of secure transactions over the Internet. The components are based on leading EDI-INT protocols for secure EDI communications such as AS2, SFTP, OFTP, RosettaNet, etc.

Included Libraries

The .NET Edition includes libraries (.dll files) which are supported in different environments. The following libraries are present in the lib directory after installation:

  • lib\net40\nsoftware.IPWorksEDI.dll is designed for use in .NET Framework 4.0 and up. This library maintains a familiar API in line with previous versions of the product.

  • lib\net6.0\nsoftware.IPWorksEDI.dll is designed for use in .NET 6 and up. The .NET 6 library provides cross-platform support while maintaining the same API as the .NET Framework version of the library.

    Support for asynchronous programming patterns (async/await) is exposed in a separate nsoftware.async.IPWorksEDI namespace. See the Async Functionality page for details.

  • lib\netstandard2.0\nsoftware.IPWorksEDI.dll is designed for use in .NET Standard 2.0 and up. The .NET Standard library provides cross-platform support for legacy projects.
