Chilkat.CkString Missing

Question

I'm developing a Azure Function in VS 2019 with .NET Core and want to use Chilkat.CkString I'm using ChilkatDnCore 9.5.0.87 Nuget package.

However CkString isn't available, CkDateTime and CkObject etc. are.

Is there a problem with the Nuget package/version or I am doing something wrong?

Please include you code. According to the docs, this function is available (https://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/csCkStringRef.html) — Luuk, Aug 21 '21 at 10:05
Indeed, in the DnCore version (9.5.0.88-alpha) it is not working ... — Luuk, Aug 21 '21 at 10:25

I'm sorry for the confusion. I'll try to update the documentation somewhere..

The CkString and CkByteData classes won't be available in .NET Core (it's intentional).

You should instead use the Chilkat.StringBuilder and Chilkat.BinData classes.

The CkString and CkByteData classes were original classes created about 20 years ago, and don't fit well into the multi-language API design. They were created with C/C++ in mind. Obviously they'll remain present in the places where they currently exist, but for any new languages supported going forward, they won't be included. If there's something CkString provides that Chilkat.StringBuilder doesn't, then let me know..
