  Sadly, I couldn’t find the current state of the art regarding the C1.Xaml.WPF.PrintDocument library, and how to migrate to the C1.WPF.* namespaces/libraries with .NET 6/.NET 8 support.

  The classes I am currently using are
  
  C1.C1Preview.AlignHorzEnum
  
  C1.C1Preview.AlignVertEnum
  
  C1.C1Preview.C1PrintDocument
  
  C1.C1Preview.GraphicsUtils
  
  C1.C1Preview.LineDef
  
  C1.C1Preview.Offsets
  
  C1.C1Preview.PrinterUtil
  
  C1.C1Preview.RenderArea
  
  C1.C1Preview.RenderObject
  
  C1.C1Preview.RenderTable
  
  C1.C1Preview.RenderText
  
  C1.C1Preview.SplitBehaviorEnum
  
  C1.C1Preview.StackingRulesEnum
  
  C1.C1Preview.Style
  
  C1.C1Preview.TableHeaderEnum
  
  C1.C1Preview.Unit
  
  C1.C1Preview.UnitTypeEnum

  Which library should I use to replace the named classes/enum and their functionaility, to have a 100% clean .net 6/.net 8 code, so not to reference a .net framework library into my .net 6/.net 8 code base.

  I found
  
  https://www.nuget.org/packages/C1.WPF.Document
  
  https://www.nuget.org/packages/C1.Win.Printing

  are those the correct packages to use? why isn’t there a C1.WPF.Printing?

  Hi,

  For .Net6/.Net8, you need to use https://www.nuget.org/packages/C1.WPF.Document package alternative for C1.Xaml.WPF.PrintDocument.
  
  C1PrintOptions is available under C1.Wpf.Document for printing. If you are unable to achieve your Printing functionality with C1.Wpf.Document then please let us know you requirement. So, that we can provide a resolution for your requirement.

  Please refer and explore the sample for Document: DocumentExplorer.zip

  Best Regards,

  Thanks for your answer, though honestly I don’t understand the answer.

  If you are unable to achieve your Printing functionality with C1.Wpf.Document then please let us know you requirement.

  I gave you a list of all the classes, I am currently using, those are my requirements eg. I can find a replacement for C1.C1Preview.Unit it seems to be C1.WPF.Document.Unit, but what about eg. C1.C1Preview.RenderText there seems to be no obvious replacement.

  Also the provided sample doesn’t include any mention of this, also there seems to be no code indicating I can build a document with (RenderXXX) from scratch which should be printed.

  Am I missing something?

  Hi,

  As per the development team, we haven’t ported WPF PrintDocument library to .Net 8 yet. This is in our backlog.
  
  The best replacement you can use is this package: C1.Win.Printing 8.0.20233.643, refer here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/C1.Win.Printing.
  
  This package includes all C1Preview classes and uses C1 WinForms controls for previewing results. Please let us know whether it works for you in your Wpf project.

  Best Regards,
  
  Nitin
