Where is BaseVersionFactory located in the IronPDF object model?

BaseVersionFactory is in the IronSoftware.Deployment namespace, shipped in IronPdf.dll.

What is the BaseVersionFactory class used for in C#?

BaseVersionFactory is the IronPDF class that belongs to the IronSoftware.Deployment namespace. It is part of the IronSoftware.Deployment namespace and is used through the IronPDF C# API.

How do you create a BaseVersionFactory in C#?

Instantiate BaseVersionFactory directly with one of its constructors, or obtain it from the relevant IronPDF API entry point. The class supports the standard C# new expression where a constructor is defined.

What methods are available on BaseVersionFactory?

Common methods include GetExpectedFileVersion, GetExpectedNuGetName, GetExpectedNuGetVersion. Use these on an instance to perform the corresponding IronPDF operation in C#.

BaseVersionFactory is what IronPDF C# code uses for deployment. It is part of the IronPDF deployment API.

BaseVersionFactory matters when an application needs to configure or invoke deployment from C# code. The class encapsulates the related options and behavior in a single object that is set up once and reused across render or processing calls. Typical scenarios include batch generation pipelines, templated document workflows, and integration with existing C# document services.

To use BaseVersionFactory, instantiate or obtain it from the relevant entry point in the IronPDF C# API. Key methods include GetExpectedFileVersion, GetExpectedNuGetName, GetExpectedNuGetVersion. Assign options or invoke methods on the instance to configure or perform the operation. The base URLs covers typical usage in C# end to end.

using IronPdf;

// Obtain BaseVersionFactory from the relevant entry point in the IronPDF API
void Configure(BaseVersionFactory instance)
{
    instance.GetExpectedFileVersion();
}

For the broader workflow, see the IronPDF C# documentation for related how-to guides and examples. For broader context, the deployment portion of the IronPDF C# API contains related types that work with BaseVersionFactory directly. BaseVersionFactory exposes additional members beyond those highlighted above; the reference tables on this page list the full set. In application code, treat BaseVersionFactory as a configured object that is constructed once and reused across operations rather than instantiated per call. Configuration is generally idempotent: assigning the same property value twice has the same effect as assigning it once. For diagnostic purposes, inspect the relevant BaseVersionFactory property after each operation to confirm the configured state. See the constructors, properties, and methods tables below for the complete API surface of BaseVersionFactory. Application code typically obtains or instantiates a single BaseVersionFactory and shares it across multiple IronPDF operations rather than recreating it per call.
