Loading Maria GDK Packages
Maria GDK assemblies are added to your project(s) through NuGet packages with the NuGet package manager -- available from the project popup menu.
To access the packages, you need to define the Maria GDK package source (if not already set by nuget.congif files). Select the Settings button to get the Package Manager Options page to create the source.
The Maria GDK Nuget packages are loaded from the Teleplan Globe support site. Use the following source:
| Maria GDK Release | https://www.myget.org/F/maria-gdk/api/v3/index.json |
| Maria GDK Nightly | https://www.myget.org/F/maria-gdk-nightly/api/v3/index.json |
Here you will find the available Maria GDK Nuget packages for download to your project(s), and also available updates when already installed.
Make sure that the Maria GDK version downloaded matches the Maria Services you are using.
