C# SDK

View as Markdown

The C# eSignature SDK is provided by Docusign to help C# developers use the Docusign eSignature REST API. It is provided as both a NuGet package and an open source repo on GitHub. The C# eSignature SDK is also used when developers opt to get started with the C# Quickstart, which generates ready-to-use, personalized C# code.

Places to start

Compatibility

  • The C# eSignature SDK is compatible with .NET Framework 4.6.2 and later.
  • The C# eSignature SDK is also compatible with .NET Standard 2.0 and later.
  • The .NET package restore process will automatically include the correct SDK DLLs for the target .NET version your project uses.
  • The C# SDK package is dependent on other NuGet packages (DLLs) for both .NET Core and the .NET Framework. The list of dependencies can be found on the DocuSign.eSign.dll NuGet page. Next to each dependency is the minimum version required for that package.

SDK versions

New versions of the SDK are released periodically to use the latest version of the eSignature REST API. SDK versions use the standard period-separated semantic versioning scheme. General release versions are of the form x.y.z, and release candidate (prerelease) versions are of the form x.y.z-rc.

All SDK versions prior to 4.0.0 are targeted at the older eSignature REST API v2.0.

The SDK changelog lists each SDK update and its notable changes from the prior version.

Developers are not required to update their applications to new versions of the SDK, unless there’s a specific reason to do so:

  • Access to a new eSignature API feature or method.
  • An SDK bug fix including security-related issues.
  • To support an updated version of one of the SDK’s dependencies.

SDK issues

If you find any issues with the SDKs, you can open an issue on the GitHub repo, or reach out to Support.
