followed by the error,

D:\\CxCache\\MsBuild.Corext.14.0.23107.9\\v14.0\\bin\\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1819,5): warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference.

For SearchPath "{TargetFrameworkDirectory}". Considered "D:\\CxCache\\DotNetFxRefAssemblies.Corext.4.6.0\\System.Fabric.dll", but it didn't exist.

To:

I am new to Nuget and msbuild. Looking for starting pointers...Please help.

Answer 1

Okay, I did some research and nuget has Microsoft.ServiceFabric there are 2 ways to do this. Open the Package Manager (nuget) console, or open nuget package manager. The Package Manager is located in visual studio (Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Package Manager) and/or around that area, that one is easy to look up. For installing you want to enter this into your package manager.

[Install-Package Microsoft.ServiceFabric -Version 7.0.466] or any version that follow in your visual studio project. Looking on nuget (dot) org you can find it easily and all the accepted versions, I already said this and I'll say it again. Be sure to be in your project when you do this and the reference will be added.
