I accidently added a package to my VS2010 MVC 3 project via the 'Manage NuGet Packages' tool in the 'Tools' menu and I would like to remove it, however after some research I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I have tried opening up the 'Manage NuGet Packages' tool within the solution, but there seems to be no uninstall option so I searched online and found the following article on installing and uninstalling packages. It mentions right clicking on the project and choosing the 'Add Package Library Reference' option, but this doesn't exist. I did notice that the example's project is a Website type, where mine isn't as I am using a modified version of the MVC project template.
Anyway, I searched online again and found several mentions of starting VS2010 as an Administrator and then the option for uninstalling should be available in the 'Manage NuGet Packages' tool, however this didn't change anything and no uninstall option appears.
Can anyone suggest what might be the problem and how to remove this package?
Here's a link to the docs:
Go to the section entitled Removing a Package, you can use the console to uninstall the package you want.
From the Library Package Manager, click the Installed Packages tab, then click Manage on the package you want to remove. Clear the checkbox for the solution/project you want the package uninstalled from, then click OK.
Or, open up the Package Manager Console and type "uninstall-package YourPackageName".

I can get my .net standard 2.0 package working in a .net framework 4.7.2 dll if I do the following steps
In my standard project VS2019 61.4.4 right click the project and select pack to create the .nupkg
Then I set up a nuget package source for the package
In my framework project I install nuget package
I get the following dialog
I choose PackageReference in project file
I answer yes to accept licensing
Then I can see the following
And I can get my project working.
However on a different machine running VS2019 16.5.0 Preview 2.0, I do not get the dialog asking me to choose the package manager format.
Instead the references look like
and I can not get my project working.
[Update]
After following Lance's link to migrate packages.config to PackageReference
The project looks like
I was able to remove the unwanted packages by right clicking references and choosing Remove Unused References
The program worked!
Go Tools=>Nuget Package Manager =>General => Package Management You can control the behavior by Allow format selection on first package install. Enable the checkbox and restart VS, this change will take effect.
And note the dialog only appears when we install first package in current project. So if you create a new project and install package, it will appear. And since you once installed packages in that project, the dialog won't appear in WindowsFormApp2 any more.
(But you can easily migrate packages.config to PackageReference, see this).
I am trying to work on sqlite related operation's on my android project but in latest android version's getting fallowing exception i.e system/lib/libsqlite.so. Most of the post suggest to remove all sqlite pcl related packages and install latest sqlite.net.xamarinandroidN package. After installing they are mentioned remove old sqlite.net.platform.xamarinandroid dll but I am unable to remove that. I have go to my project references and unselect the xamarinandroid.dll and clean and rebuild then it's dll again added to the project automatically. Most of are mentioned that after removing that old dll only the newly installed sqlite is worked. Please suggest how can I remove old sqlite. I am using sqlite.net.xamarinandroidn and sqlite.net.pcl-async packages in my project.
Right click on your project.
Click on "Manage NuGet packages"
Open the "Installed" tab.
Hover over the package you want to uninstall, then click on the red X or you can click the Uninstall button that should be displayed on the Right.
I suggest deleting all the SQLite packages, then reinstall the ones you need.
And a tip:
This is the package you want to add (I found this in assembly references):
This is what the package will look like in your projects References once added:
Then these ones you can add through the NuGet Package Manager:
I just built a new PC, installed my dev tools, connected to TFS and downloaded my project. Now most of my references are broken to EF, jQuery, etc.
The packages folder is missing all the .dlls, if I try to use NuGet restore nothing happens. If I use NuGet manager for Solution there is no "force" reinstall option.
NuGet seems to be more a hindrance than a help.
You can run "Update-Package -reinstall" command from Package Manager Console in VS to force reinstall all the packages.
Package authors often need to reinstall the same version of package
they are developing to test the behavior. The command Install-Package
does not provide ‘-force’ option, that could forcefully reinstall a
package. So, Update-Package -reinstall is added to meet that
requirement.
I've had that same issue plenty of times when I need to re-download code after getting a new PC. Here's what worked for me:
Download the project from TFS (or in your case SVN).
Delete the "packages" folder
Make sure the "Package Manager Console" is enabled (Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console)
Open the solution file.
At the right side of the "Package Manager Console," a "Restore" button should appear. Click on the "Restore" button.
Hope that helps you.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to share the link if I already answered a similar question or just answer again, so I'm doing both. Here's the link to the same answer from a different asker.
Edit:
If after you complete the above steps you are still getting syntax errors from missing references, right-click on References in the Solution Explorer and then just hit OK. That fixed the problem with the references for me.
I want to know how I can debug a NuGet package not properly showing as updated. In my specific case the package for jQuery.Validation is (the only one left) in the "Update" list, but hitting the update button does nothing. Here's the dialog for Managing NuGet Packages for my solution:
Hitting the "Update" button will give an additional popup:
As you can see everything seems slightly grayed out (what does that mean?). Hitting "Ok" just brings me back to the other dialog.
The main problem is that I don't know how to debug this sort of problem. I've tried doing the following:
Opening the Package Manager Console to see if it logs any trouble. No dice.
Checking the jquery.validate.min.js file, which mentions version 1.13.1, which is in fact the one mentioned in the dialog as the newest version.
Checking the packages.config file, which also mentions my solution includes version 1.13.1.
Restarting Visual Studio. No dice.
Remove the package. Re-add the package. No dice (not even after restarting Visual Studio again).
Is this just a bug in the Package Manager or the package? How can I further debug the root cause of this problem?
I'm using Visual Studio 2012, have updated the product as well as all extensions (including the NuGet package manager). The solution was originally based on an MVC 2 template, and has been updated for each major MVC release (currently up to MVC 5). Only this particular package is giving trouble, I've succesfully updated 10+ other packages just before this one.
This can happen if you have an old NuGet package left in the packages directory.
When managing packages for the solution the NuGet dialog will show updates for all packages that are in the packages directory even if they are not installed into any projects. If you manage the packages for the project on its own the NuGet dialog would not show any package updates as being available.
So the workaround is to remove the unwanted NuGet package from the packages directory.
I get a message saying the following:
Error 1 Package restore is disabled by default. To give consent, open
the Visual Studio Options dialog, click on Package Manager node and
check 'Allow NuGet to download missing packages during build.' You can
also give consent by setting the environment variable
'EnableNuGetPackageRestore' to 'true'.
When I go to Tools -> Options, I do not see Package Manager and underneath I see Package Sources and Recent Packages. I do not see anywhere where I can set Allow Nuget to download missing packages during build though.
The option to give consent in the UI has been added with NuGet Package Manager 1.8. It's the 3rd item under Tools-> Options-> Package Manager-> General : "Package Restore : Allow NuGet to download missing packages during build".
Please make sure NuGet is up-to-date in Tools->Extension Manager.
Alternatively you can give consent by setting the EnableNuGetPackageRestore Environment variable to true.
I found I needed an extra couple of steps to get it to download the packages
Check Allow NuGet to download missing packages during build
Check Always show solution in Projects and Solutions
Right click on solution and Enable NuGet Package Restore
Open Manage NuGet Packages and click Restore
I did not seem to have the "Package Manager" node under Tools->Options [this was in Visual Studio 2013 :-)]. To get that node in there, I browsed to Tools -> Extensions and Updates and searched for nuget. Installing "NuGet for Visual Studio 2013" got me the node and the option to allow package restore!
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and NuGet 2.0.
Someone had checked in a solution that used NuGet for various packages. When I checked out the solution and built it, I got the same errors. What's more, when I viewed the NuGet Package Manager from the Tools -> Options window, the Package Restore already had the appropriate check boxes checked.
I tried clicking the Clear Package Cache button. After doing that, everything built correctly.
