Package reference and usage

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

Reference the package by using NuGet

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

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="OceanBase.ManagedDataAccess" Version="1.1.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Use a local package source

The NuGet package built locally cannot be located by default. You need to configure a local package source.

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

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

dotnet add <your project.csproj> package OceanBase.ManagedDataAccess --version 1.1.0 --source "<package repository>" --source "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json"

Method 2: Configure nuget.config

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 a package reference to the project to resolve the package from the local source.
