We're pleased to announce that TX Text Control 33.0 is fully compatible with the latest preview of .NET 10 Preview 2. As the .NET ecosystem continues to evolve, we're committed to ensuring that TX Text Control remains fully compatible with modern cross-platform development - and our latest tests with .NET 10 confirm that.

In March 2025, .NET 10 Preview was released, introducing a number of enhancements to the runtime, libraries, SDK, and associated frameworks. The upcoming release of .NET 10 brings a number of exciting changes and enhancements, including:

  • Performance enhancements across the runtime and libraries
  • Simplified configuration for containers
  • Smaller, faster container images
  • A major shift in container base images - now using Ubuntu by default

TX Text Control + .NET 10: Tested and Verified

We've put the new release of TX Text Control 33.0 through its paces against the latest .NET 10 preview - and everything works just fine.

  • Server-Side Processing on Linux

    We ran the non-UI ServerTextControl on .NET 10 in Linux containers using the new Ubuntu base images. Text generation, document merging, PDF creation, and all other document processing tasks ran without a hitch.

  • Visual Document Editing

    We tested the TX Text Control Document Editor deployed as a Docker container on Linux. The editor worked reliably with no compatibility issues using the latest .NET 10 runtime.

Container-Ready with Ubuntu

With Ubuntu now the default container base image for .NET 10, we tested our applications against these official images - and the results were excellent. All TX Text Control features ran reliably in these environments, making it easy to build and deploy containerized applications using TX Text Control on both Linux and Windows.

Our ASP.NET Core test application used the new default Docker file that references the 10.0 preview:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:10.0-preview AS base

Looking inside the created container by checking the Linux version, we see that Ubuntu 24.04.2.LTS is now used as the default .NET image.

Desktop Applications

We have also tested the Windows Forms version of TX Text Control 33.0 with .NET 10, including full Visual Studio design-time support. This includes NuGet package integration, toolbox functionality, and Smart Tag support.
