.NET 自定义依赖项（无 nuget）

Question

So, I'm having trouble adding a git project to my net Core solution, and after spending hours trying to figure this out and being uncapable of finding a solution online, I decided to ask here.

I have a forked github repo ( link ) in which I modified some files to suit my needs, but I simply can't seem to get it to work with my current project.

The problem I'm having is that normally, when I want a package for a .NET project, I usually simply go to nuget and fetch the necessary dependencies. This is usually very simple and straight forward. But now that I have these modified files, I'm unsure on how to proceed.

I have tried adding it as a submodule, but after I built the project, I got an exception saying that the dll could not be found. Then I've tried adding the dll itself as a reference, but the ImGui.dll depends on a C dll which couldn't be found then (nor added to the project). Finally, I've tried adding the csproj as a project of my solution, but that didn't work either

Do you know what am I doing wrong here? Am I missing a key piece or is it just something obvious I'm not seeing? It can't be this hard to get it to work

Answer 1

From the look of it, that repository produces a DLL (output type Class Library). So modify it to your liking, and use the sample program build (ImGui.NET.SampleProgram) to test your changes. Once you're happy, build the DLL project (ImGui.NET) and use the resulting DLL as a Reference in your own app.

In Visual Studio:

Solution Explorer>YourApp>References>Right Click>Add Reference...>Locate your DLL

This means you should also keep track of your modifications to the ImGui.NET project itself, since you may/will be required to maintain this in the future.

Hope this gets you started -- update your question with more specific issues once you're underway.

Edit:

Like @CoolBots mentions, I probably misread your question. Seems like the build depends on cimgui.dll , which you can hotlink from the ImGui repo along with your custom DLL. In fact, the demo app is using cimgui.dll , cimgui.dylib and cimgui.so . Regardless of linking method, you want the files to copy into your build folder. I don't believe subfolder /bin is necessary.

You can find all the cimgui dependencies for various operating systems in the ~/ImGui.NET/deps/cimgui folder.

The demo also utilizes NuGet packages Velrid and Velrid.StartupUtilities .

Depending on your own codebase, you may or may not require these NuGet packages along with the aforementioned class library.
