I have a .net framework .dll which captures raw input. It utilizes win32 c classes. The main use of this dll is to determin a) what key was pressed b) what device id was used to press the key.
Can I inject this dll into a web blazor component written in c# for the purpose of determining 1) what key was entered 2) from which device?
Thanks in advance

Hi @Roman Gelfand ,
I don't think you can directly inject the .Net Framework dll to the asp.net core application, because they are two kinds of framework. But you can try to move those dll file to a .Net Standard, then in the Asp.net core application add the .Net Standard reference. Or you can convert the .Net Framework dll to a NuGet package, then use it in Asp.net core application.

Only a blazor server app can call win32 apis. And this would not be much use for accessing keystrokes which are client side.
Blazor (WASM or server) can only access keystrokes via calls to JavaScript interop to capture browser keyboard events.

Hi,
I think you will face error if you use your .net framework dll directly to the Blazor app. You can try first converting the .net framework project to .net standard and then use it in Blazor App.
But even converting didn't help. I was building a web assembly project where injected a converted to core window.form dll. I got this message... Project EnhancedInput is not compatible with net7.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v7.0) / browser-wasm. Project EnhancedInput supports: net7.0-windows7.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v7.0)
