alt-text Working with Nuget Packages

Overview

You can add references to your new Visual Studio projects by using Nuget Packages.

A NuGet package contains reusable code that other developers have made available to you for use in your projects. You can install a NuGet package in a Microsoft Visual Studio project by using the NuGet Package Manager, the Package Manager Console, or the .NET CLI. You will find here informations about how to add a Nuget Package to a Visual Studio Project.

After you install a NuGet package, you can then make a reference to it in your code with the using statement, where is the name of package you're using. After you've made a reference, you can then call the package through its API.
