BASS.NET Assembies

BASS.NET is a .Net wrapper for the BASS audio library and all it's Add-Ons - available at www.un4seen.com. It can be used with the .Net Framework and with any managed language, like C#, VB.Net, JScript, F# or managed C++. The BASS.NET release version is installed in the specified 'install-directory' and will be registered to the .Net Framework as a standard component (make sure to add a respective reference to the Bass.Net assembly within your project).

The native BASS libraries are NOT included and need to be downloaded seperately - so make sure to place the BASS library and the needed add-on libraries to your project executable directory (e.g. place the bass.dll to your .\bin\Debug folder).

Note, that there are two Bass.Net assemblies available (side-by-side): one targeting the .Net v6.0 Core Framework and one targeting the .Net v4.8 Full Framework, there are no longer any special CE, Standard, Compact or iPhone versions needed, as .Net 6 covers them all.

.\core  Bass.Net for .Net 6.0 (core) or above (Bass.Net.dll)
Targeting Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS development.
.\full  Bass.Net for .Net 4.8 or above (Bass.Net.dll)
Targeting x86 and x64, Windows development.

BASS.NET is a pure .Net assembly which is compiled with the for Any CPU switch. This means it can directly be used on any 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. In a 32-bit environment BASS.NET will automatically be executed as a 32-bit assembly and in a 64-bit environment as a 64-bit assembly.
As such, make sure to use the respective versions of the native BASS/AddOn libraries with it!
