How to update to Neodynamic Thermal Label SDK version 7 from SDK version 3 in C#.Net application?

In one of my C#.Net application, I used the Thermal Label SDK version 3 to create the Label. Now because of some reasons, I want to update the Thermal Label SDK version to the latest that is version 7. When Updating the Thermal label SDK I can see a lot of changes are there compare to the previous version 3. The following are my doubts.

  1. Unable to set the Margin for the ThermalLabel.

In Thermal label SDK 3, I can set the margin to the ThermalLabel like below. But in SDK version 7 those attributes are not there.

ThermalLabel tLabel = new ThermalLabel(UnitType.Inch, this.GetInches(labelCreator.ImageSize.Width), this.GetInches(labelCreator.ImageSize.Height));
tLabel.Margin.Top = 0.1;
tLabel.Margin.Left = 0;
tLabel.Margin.Right = 0;
tLabel.Margin.Bottom = 0;
  1. Unable to set the TextLines, Font.CharHeight, IsBuiltInFont attributes for TextItem.

In Thermal label SDK 3, I can set above-mentioned attributes to the TextItem like below. But in SDK version 7 those attributes are not there.

TextItem txtField = new TextItem();
txtField.Font.IsBuiltInFont = !this.useSoftFont;
txtField.Font.CharHeight = fieldDef.FieldFont.Size;
txtField.TextLines = 2;
  1. Unable to set Rotate attribute to the BarCodeItem.

In Thermal label SDK 3, I can set the Rotate attributes to the BarCodeItem like below. But in SDK version 7 those attributes are not there.

BarcodeItem dataMatrixItem = new BarcodeItem();
dataMatrixItem.Rotate = (Neodynamic.SDK.Printing.Rotate)Enum.Parse(typeof(Neodynamic.SDK.Printing.Rotate), fieldDef.Rotate);

I checked the documentation but I don't see anything related to that. If anyone knows how to do that please let me know.

I have contacted the Neodynamic support team, the following is the response I got from them. I am posting it here because it might help someone.

Since v4, SDK is not backward compatible.

  1. Margin are no longer supported, you have to specify the X and Y prop of each item

  2. For TextItem font settings, you must use Font property. Read more on the help https://neodynamic.com/Products/Help/ThermalLabel7.0/articles/using-fonts.html

  3. Set the RotationAngle prop of BarcodeItem obj

As per documentation they don't have such properties for you to use

so you must contact their support for this.
