Reference a NuGet package

You can reference the NuGet package of OceanBase Connector/NET in the following ways:

Reference a NuGet package

If you can find the package in the default NuGet source, you can directly add the package reference to the project file (.csproj):

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Oceanbase.ManagedDataAccess" Version="1.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Configure a local package source

If you build the package locally, the default NuGet source cannot locate it. You need to configure the local package source.

Method 1: Specify the package source by using the command line (Recommended)

When you run the dotnet add command, specify the package source by using the --source option:

dotnet add <your project.csproj> package Oceanbase.ManagedDataAccess --version 1.0.0 --source "<package repository>" --source "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json"

Method 2: Configure the nuget.config file

Create a nuget.config file in the project directory and add the local package source:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="local-oceanbase" value="<package path>/packages" />
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

After the configuration is completed, you can add the package reference to the project and resolve it from the local source.
