NuGet Packages
In Visual Studio, you can use DevExpress NuGet packages to add DevExpress libraries to your application. DevExpress publishes these packages on a private NuGet web server, to help add and update DevExpress references in your projects.
Refer to the following section for a guide on how to set up your Visual Studio instance for DevExpress NuGet packages: Install DevExpress Controls Using NuGet Packages.
Note the following requirements to use DevExpress NuGet packages:
- The DevExpress NuGet feed is only available to licensed DevExpress customers.
You will need to create a new package source for the DevExpress NuGet feed, as detailed in the Managing packages for the solution section.
Note
Set the feed’s source URL in the following format:
https://nuget.devexpress.com/{your-feed-authorization-key}/api/v3/index.json
The key is available in the Download Manager page of your DevExpress account.
- Design-time assemblies are not included.
- DevExpress controls referenced with NuGet packages are not available from the Toolbox.
