Migrating to GroupDocs.Assembly 18.9 or Higher

Breaking changes

Removed members of DocumentAssembler were replaced with new ones. Removed members were not marked as obsolete (deprecated) before removal as usual, because this would complicate migration to new members of DocumentAssembler in Java. Thus, we have introduced a breaking change and customers need to migrate their code from removed members of DocumentAssembler to newly added ones when upgrading to the new version of GroupDocs.Assembly.

Newly added types

C#

/// <summary>
/// Provides information on a single data source object to be used to assemble a document from a template.
/// </summary>
public class DataSourceInfo

C#

/// <summary>
/// Specifies the format of a file.
/// </summary>
public enum FileFormat

C#

/// <summary>
/// Specifies additional options for loading and saving of a document to be assembled.
/// </summary>
public class LoadSaveOptions

New members of DocumentAssembler
