OPC Studio User's Guide and Reference
OPC Wizard Development Tools
The development tools we have targeted primarily are:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 or older may still work for many tasks (creating and opening projects, coding, building, debugging), but we do not test for that. Designer integration (features such as Toolbox items for components, code analysis etc.) is only available in Visual Studio 2022+.
The .NET Framework projects you create need to target .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher.
The development tools we have targeted primarily are:
Other compatible tools are likely to work as well. Also, some older versions of the development tools may work; we do not, however, test with them or support them.

The OPC Studio extension for Visual Studio requires at least Visual Studio 17.6.3. Without Visual Studio extension, you can still most OPC Data Client and OPC Wizard features. In general, code development and building is possible with older Visual Studio versions. The Visual Studio extension is only needed for non-essential advanced features such as Live Binding (design-time) in OPC Data Client, creating code for instantiating components by dragging them from the Toolbox, editing component properties in the VS designer, code analyzers etc. |
