NuGet

All libraries are hosted in the cloud using the industry standard NuGet format on www.NuGet.org. Not only is it easy to install and upgrade libraries, it is also easy to create and publish custom libraries.

The steps below explain how to add online-hosted NuGet libraries to your project. If you are using a pre-release, the libraries must be downloaded and installed as a local feed.

  1. Start Visual Studio and create a new TinyCLR Application under C# > TinyCLR. New to Visual Studio or C#? Take a look at the getting started guide from Microsoft.

  2. Right click on your Project in the Solution Explorer panel and select Manage NuGet Packages. If the Solution Explorer window is not visible, open it by selecting Solution Explorer in the View menu. You can also select Manage NuGet Packages... in the Project menu of Visual Studio.

  3. Make sure the package source is set to "Package source" or "All."
