Referring to NuGet packages from csx script

Question

I am trying to write an interactive C # script (.csx) that should use the NuGet package, but I have to ignore something fundamental, because I cannot get it to work.

I tried adding project.json , which refers to the package, and it is installed in the global dir directory when I nuget restore , but it seems that the #r directive #r not look there. I was unable to find the relevant documentation on how the #r directive #r (most of the documents seem to be dealing with a similar but different project called ScriptCS).

How do you write a csx script that refers to NuGet packages?

Answer 1

C # Interactive cannot reference NuGet packages, but scriptcs can.

Answer 2

This wiki entry has a note for an interactive window stating that you need to reference the NuGet DLL directly. Thus, you can use the absolute path to the DLL in the global package directory. It is not perfect, but should work.
