Async version of methods

Hi,

Is there any plans for making async versions of the methods in this library?

BIN file format for using this library for other purposes

I would like to use this library for custom usage as it's blazing fast.

Is there any chance to get instructions to create a custom BIN file out of IP ranges with metadata?

sign project

hello, can you sign project, in particular, for .net?

Unable to load database "Please make sure that you are using the latest IP2Location BIN file"

Hi,

I'm trying to perform a simple IP country lookup with the database product PX3-IP-PROXYTYPE-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY.BIN such as:

        var db = new IP2Location.Component();
        db.Open(@"C:\Users\PierreRoudaut\Downloads\IP2PROXY-IP-PROXYTYPE-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY.BIN", true);
        var result = db.IPQuery("50.201.95.250");
        Console.WriteLine(result.CountryShort);

But the following code throws an Exception with the message "Please make sure that you are using the latest IP2Location BIN file".
The database file is from 2022-04-26 downloaded with a trial license and is around ~210 MB.

After debugging the source code, I can see that the LoadBIN() asserts that the metadata.ProductCode isn't 1 (evaluated to 2 in this case).

              if (metaData.ProductCode != 1 && metaData.DBYear >= 21 || metaData.DBType == 80 && metaData.DBColumn == 75)
                throw new Exception("Incorrect IP2Location BIN file format. Please make sure that you are using the latest IP2Location BIN file.");

Could you please help me with this?
