Enable C# 6.0 in Visual Studio 2012 on an offline PC - c#

I have read the answers at
C# 6.0 Support in Visual Studio 2012
however it's not clear how to get it done on an offline PC.
I have downloaded the latest stable version of the C# compiler available at
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Compilers/
but I'm clueless of what do I do with the dowloaded nuget package, best I could do was rename it to .zip and extract it but I got stuck again not know how do I reference that in Visual Studio 2012.
Also I have no idea how to upgrade Nugetto the latest version (as outlined in that answer) before I do the other steps?

You will have to use a computer that have internet access to retrieve the nuget package and copy it the the offline computer.
Visit Nuget Site for the package you need .https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Compilers/
Click the download package link on the page
Use the nuget command-line interface to add the project to project file. For example: nuget add -Source some/directory my.nupkg

Put your downloaded packages in a folder and use it as your package source.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/hosting-packages/local-feeds

You need to add the nuget package use the package manager console.
Install-Package SomePackage -Source C:\PathToThePackageDir\
Hope this helps.

Emgu error when trying to install emgu.CV.runtime.windows in VC# 2017

I'm trying to install emgu.CV.runtime.windows from within Visual Studio 2017, and installing by the recommeded method of right-clicking references and installing via NuGet.
However I am getting the error below.
Could not install package 'Emgu.runtime.windows.msvc.rt.x64 19.28.29336'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2, but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
According to the package information, its dependencies are
enter code here.NetStandardVersion=2.0
enter code here.Engu.CV (> 4.5.1 && < 4.5.2)
enter code here.Engu.runtime.windows.msvc.rt.x86 (= 19.28.29336)
enter code here.Engu.runtime.windows.msvc.rt.x64 (= 19.28.29336)
I checked and c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework contains a folder for v2.0.50727, so it seem .net 2.0 is installed (as is v3.0, v3.5, v4.0.30319)
I have emgu.CV 4.5.1.4349 installed.
I need this library so that I can have the enter code herebitmap.ToImage<Bgr, byte>(); function.
Why am I getting this error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The solution is migrating from package.config to package references for every project you have. Simply right click on package.config and click "migrate package.config to PackageReference".
Then, install the runtime package again and it will work.
For the new Emgu Nuget package you do need to use PackageReference instead of the traditional package.config.
What worked for me on Visual Studio 2017:
Uninstall all NuGet Packages [This removes the package.config file]
Go to Tools --> Options --> NuGet Package Manager --> General
Change the default package management format to "PackageReference"
Check "allow format selection on first package install"
Click OK
Install Emgu.CV, Emgu.CV.Bitmap, Emgu.CV.UI and Emgu.CV.runtime.windows
These Emgu packages should now appear under your references and you should not see a package.config file.
Nuget Options Image
I encountered the same error. I don't know why we're getting it, but I was able to find a workaround.
Visit the nuget page for the package.
Click "Download Package" to download the nuget package directly.
Open the downloaded file using your archive utility of choice and navigate to the "\runtimes\win-x64\native" folder.
Copy both dll files into the output directory of your project.
After doing this, my code executed without error. Make sure to install emgu.CV.Bitmap as well.
I changed my projects Target Framework to ".NET Framework 4.6" and then went to "Manage NuGet Packages", selected "Browse", typed in "emgu.cv.runtime" then installed version 4.5.1.4349 and it worked.
Here is how I solved it,
1- downgrade .Net framework to 4.6 from project properties
2- Uninstall Emgu.CV and related ones (you will see which ones needed to be uninstalled in Errors List)
3- Install Emgu.CV.runtime.windows from Solution Nuget Manager ( it should install fine now)
3- upgrade .Net framework to 4.8
4- install Emgu.CV 4.5.1 (latest)
5- install Emgu.CV.UI 4.5.1 (Emgu.CV.Bitmwp was installed automatically for me)
and that's it, now you can use bitmap.ToImage<Bgr,Byte>(), note that the Image<Bgr,byte>(bitmap) doesn't work anymore.

How do I install Newtonsoft.json for Visual Studio 2010?

I am trying to make Newtonsoft.json available for use in my local Visual Studio 2010 projects. I installed NuGet.Tools on my system. Now I see an item in the Solution Explorer called Service References that wasn't there before, but I don't understand how to use that to reference the Newtonsoft package I also downloaded, which is currently in my Downloads folder. Do I need to move the package to a different location to reference it?
Thanks for your help.
You can right click on the project where you want to install newtonsoft nuget package.
You will find an option "Manage NuGet packages".
Then search online for "newtonsoft".
This would add a packages.config file in your project (depending on which framework you are targeting to ).
this new file contains all the nuget dependencies required for this project.
Refer this blog for more details
VS2010 is old and is unable to update to the latest NuGet version. This means that adding recent packages will often fail; however, you can often add an older version of a package that has a compatible NuGet version and it will work. This causes the suggested answer by #ManojChoudhari to fail for me. In the case of Newtonsoft.Json, the following worked using the Package Manager Console:
Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json -Version 9.0.1

Package requires NuGet client version ... or above

After I download my project from GitHub and try to compile it I am running into the issue of "package requires NuGet client version ... or above" but I am using Visual Studio 2017 with the latest NuGet version for that version. The issue is fixed after building the package twice but is there a way that I could stop this from happening in the first place and have it so that these issues go away after the first compilation of the code?
I had a similar problem while adding NUnit via Nugget Manager. Instead of adding the package via Nuget Manager, I downloaded the framework's dll files from their website and add them as a reference to the project.
If you still want to use the NuGet manager, you have to upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio

How to use DotNet.Contracts NuGet package?

Could someone shed some light on how to use the DotNet.Contracts NuGet package in Visual Studio 2015 and 2017? Is it the only component required to use Code Contracts in Visual Studio???
Do I still need to install Contracts.devlab9ts.msi??? When trying to install Contracts.devlab9ts.msi, I got error 'Extensions' is not a valid short file name. This occurs on my Windows 10 dev machine, with latest Windows updates.
If we still need to install Contracts.devlab9ts.msi, what's the purpose of the NuGet package?
You just need to install the DotNet.Contracts NuGet Package in your project, because this package contains all Code Contracts related files.
Please refer to:
https://github.com/Microsoft/CodeContracts/issues/13
The Contracts.devlab9ts.msi could be installed on my Windows 10 build 10240 successful. If you still want to install Contracts.devlab9ts.msi for your Visual Studio, please check your Windows 10 version and make sure your Windows 10 dev has installed all updates.

Nuget version not correct?

I have a project that i cannot compile. When i try to do so I get the following error:
The 'Microsoft.Bcl.Build 1.0.14' package requires NuGet client version '2.8.1' or above, but the current NuGet version is '2.7.41115.310'.
Normally this would be simple. After searching I found this guide:
http://www.daimto.com/package-requires-nuget-client-version-x/
That explains how I can upgrade my Nuget client version. However, when i follow those steps, I find that I am already using the latest version of Nuget: 2.8.5
For some reason however, Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate is using an older version, and I don't understand why.
My install of Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 is a fresh install, after unninstalling Visual Studio for Web Express 2012. The previous version was giving me a considerable amount of problems and so I deleted it and moved on to 2013. I wonder if some cofig files were passed through, but I cant be sure.
How can I fix this problem?
From Tools → Extensions and Updates → Installed, uninstall “NuGet Package Manager” and install it again.
So, after searching around I found no answers, so I decided to look into the project folders. It happens that I have the main version of NuGet.exe, 2.8.5 in main folder, but the project was nowhere near that main folder.
This way, when I downloaded the project it simply used the NuGet version pulled from TFS (or so I assume), and that was the problem - that verison was Nuget.exe 2.7.4.
After replacing the "Nuget.exe" files (found in /.nuget folder of the project) the project finally compiled and everythign started working again.
You can also try update Nuget Package Manager directly from Tools > Extensions and Updates
In my case, a pending update of Visual Studio fixed the nuget version.
The update was the "Update 5" for VisualStudio 2013.
The update was listed under the menu Tools → Extensions and Updates, on the tab Updates.
I was getting this error from a recently cloned branch, but (in contrast to the above solution) found that my Nuget version in the project directory was the same as that in my solution directory.
I solved this by right clicking on the solution and Managing Nuget Packages for the solution. The Nuget dialog that popped up said that packages were missing and asked me to restore them. Once downloaded, the project built successfully.
I had the same issue when trying to install System.Net.Http and it said the nuget version needed to be version 3.0 or above. I tried few things but in the end, used Tools and Manage Nuget Packages and did a search and tried to install it from there when it said exactly the same thing - wrong version of nuget, but it popped up with an upgrade Nuget button too!
Hope this helps someone
Simply reinstall nuget in visual studio
