Adding references to ImageUltimate assemblies

To add references to ImageUltimate assemblies in your project, do either of the following in Visual Studio:

  • Install NuGet package and add references automatically via NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio: Go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console and run this command:

    Install-Package GleamTech.ImageUltimate

    If you prefer using the user interface when working with NuGet, you can also install the package this way:

    Go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for Solution, select nuget.org or All in the Package source dropdown on the top right. Now enter GleamTech.ImageUltimate in the search field, and click Install button on the found package.

      Note

    We also publish to our own NuGet feed as a backup in addition to official nuget.org site and if you want to install from there, run this command:

    Install-Package GleamTech.ImageUltimate -Source https://get.gleamtech.com/nuget/default/

    If you prefer using the user interface when working with NuGet, you can also install the package this way:

    1. Add GleamTech's own NuGet feed first to be able to find GleamTech's packages. Go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Settings and then click the + button to add a new package source. Enter GleamTech in Name field and https://get.gleamtech.com/nuget/default/ in Source field and click OK.

    2. Go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for Solution, select GleamTech or All in the Package source dropdown on the top right. Now enter GleamTech.ImageUltimate in the search field, and click Install button on the found package.

      Legacy Note

    For a legacy "ASP.NET Core 2.1 on .NET Framework" project, make sure you have the following additional packages with these last supported versions in your project (update them in Nuget Package Manager if necessary):

    • Microsoft.AspNetCore 2.1.7
    • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc 2.1.7
    • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Session 2.1.7

    For an "ASP.NET Core on .NET Core 3.0+/.NET 5.0+" project, these dependencies will be pulled by NuGet Package Manager automatically so you don't need to do any additional steps.

  • Or add references manually by right-clicking References of your project and clicking Add Reference...

    In the Reference Manager window, browse and add GleamTech.Common.dll and GleamTech.ImageUltimate.dll found in Bin\net472 or Bin\netstandard2.0 folder (according to your project's target) of ImageUltimate-vX.X.X.X.zip package which you already downloaded and extracted.

      Legacy Caution

    For a legacy "ASP.NET Core 2.1 on .NET Framework" project, you should reference our net472 DLLs and NOT netstandard2.0 DLLs because it's still a .NET Framework project and our net472 DLLs automagically works for this mixed platform.
