  • DevExpress Download Manager as an Alternative to NuGet Gallery

    • 2 minutes to read

    Note

    Microsoft will end Xamarin-related support services on May 1, 2024 and shift development focus to the .NET MAUI platform.

    Based on Microsoft’s decision, we highly recommend those using Xamarin.Forms to consider our .NET MAUI Component Suite for existing/new mobile projects. DevExpress .NET MAUI components support many of the features/capabilities available in Xamarin.Forms counterparts.

    Please refer to the following help topic when you are ready to migrate your DevExpress Xamarin.Forms-based application to .NET MAUI: Migration from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI.

    If the DevExpress NuGet Gallery does not fit your needs, you can also use the Download Manager to obtain libraries that contain DevExpress Components for Xamarin.Forms. The Download Manager allows you to select the required version, review changes in this version, and download an archive with assemblies.

    Tip

    We recommend that you use the DevExpress NuGet Gallery to download and install dependencies in your projects. The NuGet Gallery gives you multiple advantages: for example, you get notifications when a new version is available, dependencies are automatically downloaded and installed.

    How to Add Assemblies to Your Solution

    Add required assemblies to each project (shared, Android, and iOS) to use the corresponding DevExpress components in the solution.

    In Solution Explorer, right-click Dependencies in a project and select Add Project Reference.

    The tables below contain lists of assemblies that you need add to the shared (<YourAppName>), iOS (<YourAppName>.iOS), and Android (<YourAppName>.Android) projects in order to have access to DevExpress components.
