在Visual Studio外部重新安装ASP.NET网站的NuGet包

Question

I have ASP.NET website which does not have .csproj file (it's not web application), only .sln file. In root is packages.config having several NuGet packages defined.

Calling nuget restore .\\packages.config -PackagesDirectory .\\packages downloads packages to packages folder, but bin folder is empty.

nuget update requires .csproj.

If I call build of website in a command line it will throw an error that DLLs were not found. If I keep bin\\*.refresh it does not work either.

Thank you

You need to have a .refresh file for each of the packages you expect to be copied to the bin directory.

For example, we have a custom build of MvcSiteMapProvider.MVC2 in one of our web sites.

packages.config

<package id="Mvc2" version="2.0.1" targetFramework="net35" />
<package id="MvcSiteMapProvider.MVC2.Core" version="4.6.18.1" targetFramework="net35" />

/Bin Folder

System.Web.Mvc.dll.refresh
MvcSiteMapProvider.dll.refresh

NOTE: It may be tricky to get your source control provider to recognize these. Make sure they are there when you clone your project to a clean directory.

System.Web.Mvc.dll.refresh

..\..\packages\Mvc2.2.0.1\lib\net35\System.Web.Mvc.dll

MvcSiteMapProvider.dll.refresh

..\..\packages\MvcSiteMapProvider.MVC2.Core.4.6.18.1\lib\net35\MvcSiteMapProvider.dll

You may need to adjust the number of ..\\ in your project depending on the folder structure, but this is what we have that restores successfully.
