Is List & Label Standard edition ok with .NET Framework AnyCPU "Prefer 32-bit"?


I am currently evaluating List & Label. The edition comparison seems to indicate that the Standard edition cannot be used by 64-bit programs, and I also got that confirmed by the company making the product. However, what I need to know is the following.

I plan to use List & Label in a Visual Studio solution with projects compiled for AnyCPU with "Prefer 32-bit" set.

Is there anybody out there that runs the licensed Standard edition with AnyCPU and "Prefer 32-bit" set on a 64-bit machine? It would be nice to know for certain whether it works or not.


Solution

  • Yes, this will work. See What AnyCPU Really Means As Of .NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 11 to confirm this will start a 32 bit process on all platforms supported by List & Label:

    • If the process runs on a 32-bit Windows system, it runs as a 32-bit process. IL is compiled to x86 machine code.
    • If the process runs on a 64-bit Windows system, it runs as a 32-bit process. IL is compiled to x86 machine code.
