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

The NuGet package manager is installed with Visual Studio, since version 2012.

ScanFix Xpress NuGet Package

Package dependencies are automatically handled.

ScanFix Xpress .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.

Adding ScanFix Xpress NuGet Package

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.

From Visual Studio

1. Open the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio by right-clicking 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.
3. Select Browse at the top-left of the page, and type Accusoft.ScanFixXpress.Net into the search bar to find the package.
4. Select the package on the left and then click the Install button on the right.
   After installing the required package, you should see the newly added Accusoft.ScanFixXpress.Net assembly (and its dependencies) in your application's References folder.        
5. Add the ScanFixXpress namespace to any C# or VB.NET source file where you want to reference its classes:
   • ScanFix Xpress

   using Accusoft.ScanFixXpressSdk;

   Native binaries and additional resources are copied to your app's output directory after building your project.
