We will be supporting .NET 6.0 "out of the box" with the next version of Dyalog, 19.0 (I cannot say yet when that will be available).

Until then it should be possible to move to .NET 6.0 by making minor changes to some of Dyalog's configuration files. We cannot formally support this route, but I don't think there will be any problems.

In the dyalog installation you will see files called:

Dyalog.Net.Bridge.deps.json
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.runtimeconfig.json

Each of these files contains version strings which will include the fragment "3.1". Change those "3.1"s to "6.0"s and you should be good to go.

The following are the changes I made:

Dyalog.Net.Bridge.deps.json: "name": ".NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0",
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.deps.json: ".NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0": {
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.runtimeconfig.json: "tfm": "netcoreapp6.0",
Dyalog.Net.Bridge.runtimeconfig.json: "version": "6.0.0"

Update November 2023:

19.0 will support .NET 8 out of the box.
