NuGet Packages #13

Closed sanzoghenzo closed 2 years ago

Hi there!

It would be wonderful if you can bundle this library as NuGet package!

This guide explains how to build and publish a package, but it runs on a ubuntu machine; It should be easy to change the platform.

Let me know what you think!

Happy holidays

Hi sanzoghenzo,

thanks for opening this issue and thanks for the link. Creating NuGet packages is on top of my todo list for my Christmas holidays. I keep you updated. :)

Happy holidays!

Hi,

I finally managed to created the NuGet packages. There is a dedicated package for each AutoCAD version, e.g. Linq2Acad-2022. For testing purposes I pushed Linq2Acad-2022, Linq2Acad-2021 and Linq2Acad-2020 to the NuGet-Test server. To receive the packages you have to add https://apiint.nugettest.org/v3/index.json to your package sources in Visual Studio. Furthermore you have to check Include prereleases in the NuGet browser.

The code is available on a new branch caled release and not yet merged into master.

Documentation has been updated and one major breaking change was made (f48f74ede2554ef2c968fe52b03e1ec1f0d956ff).

I'm happy to get some feedback!

Hi, I just published the packages on nuget.org. The current version is 1.0.0-RC3, so Include prereleases is still needed to find the packages, but it is now available from the standard NuGet server. I thought it would be best to have a "public beta" for another four weeks. If everything goes well, we cann release version 1.0.0 on March 1st.

Wolfgang, the spoils of victory are yours. well done! You're library makes using the .net api much more palatable. it's like driving a nice car, it's beautiful.

Sorry for my silence... I just managed to switch to the nuget packages!

It took me almost an hour, I was unaware of the breaking changes you made (DbObjects and ClearValues) 😅

I confirm that the 2021 version is working!

As always, you did a wonderful job!

I can also confirm I have successfully switched over to the Nuget package without (much) trouble. the hiccup i faced was that I had to first remove the OLD linq2acad project, and THEN install the nuget package. easy enough, but it may trip up some.

Hi Ben, thanks for your feedback. Good point, I'll add that to the documentation (currently working on documenting the API).

BTW, I published a new RC that contains three more breaking changes (new PaperSpace property 494884238adb4a4521581d7f36dd267ceded7cdf, Add renamed to AddRange, 1a80da801c83de898a01b01f719a487bd47cbc9f, Styles grouped c3c72f7588ffd1b7b3ee22bc44c6a1ad1eb89dcc). I refactored the code and believe that these changes make the API clearer.

That's good idea. Maybe it's best if i document it, seeing i faced the particular problem myself.

edit see here: #14

Finally, version 1.0.0 is on NuGet! Thanks for your participation @sanzoghenzo, @benkoshy!
