Automatic native and managed DLLs extracting from Nuget Package

I will try to explain all the pain and solutions I’ve been through as detailed as possible. In my example I use simple text files AAA86.txt, AAA64.txt and AAAany.txt instead of native DLLs to simply demonstrate the extraction process. First thing you need to know: If you try to mix the native NuGet’s architecture with … Read more

Build NuGet Package automatically including referenced dependencies

Your point #3 (Add references to various .dll files/other projects <– this is the missing part) really contains two different issues: (1) add references to various dll files, and (2) add references to other projects in the same solution.

The below process has this scenario in mind (although it … Read more

Add native files from NuGet package to project output directory

Using the Copy target in the targets file to copy required libraries won’t copy those files to other projects which reference the project, resulting in a DllNotFoundException.

Set content files to “copy local : always” in a nuget package

Instead of using a PowerShell script another approach is to use an MSBuild targets or props file with the same name as the package id: <Project xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003″> <ItemGroup> <None Include=”$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)importantfile.xml”> <Link>importantfile.xml</Link> <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory> </None> </ItemGroup> </Project> In the nuspec file then, instead of adding the required files to the Content directory, add them to the Build … Read more
