We are upgrading from 17.1 to 18.1. I just installed 18.1 using the Platform Installer, and can't find the NuGet packages. With 17.1, they were located in both "C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\2017.1\Windows Forms\NuGet Packages" and "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Infragistics\NuGet", but they don't seem to be in similar places for 18.1. Nor can I find a separate download for them.
Hello Scott,
NuGet packages for Infragistics Windows Forms are not currently offered. We offered them for a short time, but very large amounts of users were experiencing issues with the Visual Studio designer when using them. After a bit of research on our end, we found that it is extremely difficult to provide the designer experience when using NuGet packages, which our Windows Forms product is heavily reliant on. To prevent further issues, we discontinued NuGet support for our Windows Forms product.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
Hello Andrew,
there's a preview feature "Use the preview Windows Forms designer for .NET Core apps". Have you looked into whether your issues are equally true in that one?
As the solution evolved since last year?
As most of us with active winform applications will move in the mid term to .NET 5 - and thus .NET Core, moving through NuGet package would have make the transition smoother.
Also, I notived that your WPF components are delivered via NuGet, just curious of what make Windows Forms more complex in that sense.
I have been looking for the Nuget feed for Infragistics.Winforms 19.1 with no luck. Is there still no Nuget option for this product? If not, how do we build products that use it in an Azure DevOps pipeline (i.e. CI process)?
