Overview of this book

The ASP.NET Core 2.0 Framework has been designed to meet all the needs of today’s web developers. It provides better control, support for test-driven development, and cleaner code. Moreover, it’s lightweight and allows you to run apps on Windows, OSX and Linux, making it the most popular web framework with modern day developers. This book takes a unique approach to web development, using real-world examples to guide you through problems with ASP.NET Core 2.0 web applications. It covers Visual Studio 2017- and ASP.NET Core 2.0-specifc changes and provides general MVC development recipes. It explores setting up .NET Core, Visual Studio 2017, Node.js modules, and NuGet. Next, it shows you how to work with Inversion of Control data pattern and caching. We explore everyday ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0 patterns and go beyond it into troubleshooting. Finally, we lead you through migrating, hosting, and deploying your code. By the end of the book, you’ll not only have explored every aspect of ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0, you’ll also have a reference you can keep coming back to whenever you need to get the job done.

In this recipe, we will learn how to create a NuGet package with the NuGet package class library.

Getting ready

When we build a .NET project, a DLL file, or an exe file is generated. Every compiled .NET EXE or .NET DLL is a reusable component as well.

A more modern and universal way to create and use reusable components is to create NuGet packages from our code. Thus, we will create these components for personal use in our private organization and share them with the community (thereby making them public) by publishing it in the public NuGet repository.

How to do it...

There's several ways to create a NuGet package.

The old way

  2. At this page we can choose the latest Windows x86 Commandline.exe file.
  3. We can also choose the latest VS 2015 VSIX extension for Visual Studio.
  4. To use NuGet.exe to create packages from an assembly, we have to place NuGet...
