What are NuGet Packages?

NuGet is the package manager for the Microsoft development platform that includes .NET. NuGet packages make it easy to add, remove, and update libraries and tools in Visual Studio projects that use the .NET Framework.

To read more about NuGet, please visit nuget.org.

Installing NuGet

Starting with Visual Studio 2012, NuGet is included in every version of Visual Studio (except Team Foundation Server) by default. For Visual Studio 2010, you will need to install the NuGet Extension manually using the Extension Manager.

To check if your copy of Visual Studio already has the NuGet extension, in the Visual Studio Tools menu, look for Library Package Manager (VS2012) or NuGet Package Manager (VS2015).

If your copy of Visual Studio does not already have the Library Package Manager (NuGet) extension, you can install it using the Extension Manager. See https://docs.nuget.org/consume/installing-nuget for details.

Adding Accusoft NuGet Packages

All of our packages can be found at nuget.org, which is the central package repository used by all package authors and consumers. The NuGet Package Manager is configured by default to use nuget.org for packages' sources.

To add NuGet packages into your imaging application:

  1. Open the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio using one of the following methods:
    • Tools > Library Package Manager (VS2012) or NuGet Package Manager (VS2015) > Manage NuGet packages for solution
    • Right-click on the project or solution in the Solution Explorer and choose Manage NuGet packages
  2. In the opened window make sure that Package source is set to nuget.org and find the required package from the list of packages. See the ImageGear .NET NuGet Packages table below to determine which packages to install. If you are unsure which package to use, you can use the ImageGear.All package for evaluation purposes.
  3. After selecting and installing the required package(s), you should see the newly added assemblies in your application's References folder. If your selected package requires native binaries or additional resources, they will be copied to the application's Output directory after building the project.
  4. Add using [namespace]; to any CS/VB file where you want to reference these libraries.

ImageGear .NET NuGet Packages

Package Dependencies are automatically included; so, for example, if you select the ImageGear.PDF package, the ImageGear.Core package is also included.

ImageGear .Net NuGet packages are self-sufficient and provide all the necessary functionality for the package they describe. However, if you want to extend the package capabilities with functionality from other packages, you need to install those corresponding packages, too. For example:
