So, I created a new package, with the latest Kendo version, using the same steps as my last post and copied that new package into my private feed location: Coincidentally, Telerik released a new version of Kendo UI since my last post. Updating the package to a new version is also a breeze using NuGet. Just click the Install button next to the package name and all of the files should be pulled into your project, and we’ll have the result we were looking for in the last post: Notice that under the ‘Online’ section in the left pane, you should see the custom feed we installed in the previous step and the middle pane should contain our custom Kendo package: This will open the Manage NuGet Packages dialog. To install the package just right click on the references folder in the project that you wish to use the package, and select the Manage NuGet Packages option: Okay, now let’s finally get down to reaping the benefits of our work. Install the Package in a Visual Studio project Now Visual Studio is aware of your feed and you’ll be able to install packages from that location. In Visual Studio go to Tools –> Options –> expand the Package Manager node in the left pane and select Package Sources.įrom here, click the Plus button at the upper right, give your feed a Name and a Source path – as you see I gave it the path to the network folder from the previous step:Ĭlick Ok and that’s all there is to it. Now we need to let the Package Manager in Visual Studio know about this feed. Guess what? We’re done! That’s all it takes to create a “feed” that we can point Visual Studio at so that it’s aware of our packages. So, you can see from the screenshot below that I created a NuGet Packages folder, under a Development share on MyServer, and I copied over the NuGet package that I created in the last post: What I’m going to show here is sort of in between the two, using a folder on a network share so that it can be shared amongst the team, and keep it simple at the same time. If you read that you’ll see that a private feed can be as simple as a local folder or you can host a remote (or internal) feed with a web application using NuGet Server. There are plenty of references on the internet for creating your own NuGet feeds, including this one from the NuGet documentation. Install the package in your project via the “Manage NuGet Packages” interface.Notify the Package Manager in Visual Studio know about the private feed.Create the private feed – in our example this will simply be a folder out on a network share.This post will show how to create a simple private NuGet feed and consume the packages in that feed in Visual Studio. In the last post I showed how you can create a custom NuGet package using the NuGet Package Explorer.
