Getting Nightly Builds with NuGet

What is NuGet?

NuGet is a package manager for Visual Studio and .NET. It allows you to add a reference to a DLL and download it from the cloud. There is no need to keep DLLs in version control or install them on local disk. You can download them on-demand and link against them during your build process.

You can find more details at Microsoft Learn here: What is NuGet and what does it do? | Microsoft Learn

NOTE: We follow the Continuous Delivery strategy so SciChart Nightly builds can be treated as minor/hotfix releases.

SciChart Nightly Builds NuGet Feed

In order to publish SciChart WPF Nightly builds we have created a private NuGet feed at MyGet.

Please find the Feed URLs below:

NOTE: *.nupkg files can be unzipped if you rename them as zip. They contain SciChart DLLs. So, even if you are not using NuGet, you can get our nightly builds by clicking the download button on the gallery page and unzipping the package.

Integrating SciChart's NuGet Feed with Visual Studio

Setting up the SciChart NuGet Feed in Visual Studio

You will need to setup your Visual Studio to read from the feed in the following manner:

  • Next, for any Visual Studio project right click the project name and select 'Manage NuGet Packages'

  • Choose 'SciChart Nightly' as the NuGet feed, and install necessary SciChart packages.

•That's it! SciChart will be added as a reference to your project.

Installing SciChart using Package Manager Console

Please follow the steps from the 'NuGet docs - Using the Package Manager Console' article and the following Package Manager Console command to get the latest SciChart version:

Install-Package SciChart –Source https://www.myget.org/F/abtsoftware-bleeding-edge/api/v3/index.json

Updating to the Latest Nightly Build

To get the latest SciChart Nightly build you will need to update the NuGet package.

There are several ways to do this:

Update-Package SciChart –Source https://www.myget.org/F/abtsoftware-bleeding-edge/api/v3/index.json

  • Use NuGet Package Manager to search for SciChart and install the latest version.
NOTE:
  • We are only publishing SciChart WPF in .NET 6.0, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET Framework 4.6.2 configurations. You can target any newer .NET version in your project though.
  • We are not publishing x86 and x64 SciChart versions as NuGet does not support platform specific DLLs.
