Good news, we are now offering NuGet packages for our ASP.NET subscriptions.
NuGet is the package manager for the Microsoft development platform including .NET. -NuGet.org
Licensed customers can request access to the Beta version by writing to support@devexpress.com.
Setup
Follow this excellent step-by-step guide to setup your Visual Studio instance for our NuGet packages:
DevExpress NuGet Packages: T466415
Required
The DevExpress NuGet feed requires the following:
- You must be a licensed customer
- Only certain development platforms like ASP.NET are currently available
- You should realize that this NeGet support is still only available as a 'beta', we are still working on the full implementation
- You should be using version 16.2, since that version is all we support
- Please read the section about "Limitations" before you switch to using NuGet packages
Limitations
The biggest limitation for NuGet packages is that by design they cannot affect the Visual Studio IDE. In other words, they are most convenient for development scenarios such as build servers.
What this means in practice is that we will not be providing DevExpress design-time assemblies via NuGet, and hence the DevExpress controls will not be available in the Visual Studio Toolbox if you use these new packages. You will still have to install the product via our installation program for those design-time experiences.
Packages
Use the list below to determine which packages you need for your project:
- DevExpress.Web (All ASP.NET WebForms and ASP.NET MVC projects)
- DevExpress.Web.Mvc (ASP.NET MVC Projects)
- DevExpress.Web.Mvc5 (ASP.NET MVC Projects)
- DevExpress.Web.Office (Spreadsheet and RichEdit controls)

- DevExpress.Web.Scheduler (Scheduler)
- DevExpress.Web.Themes (Themes)
- DevExpress.Web.Visualization (Chart and Gauge controls)
