Visual Studio Code Extension: NuGet Reverse Package Search

Adds reverse .NET Core package lookup support like the "Add Package" context menu item in full Visual Studio

Features

Whenever you type some code that you think should work but OmniSharp tells you that it's not valid, it might be due to a missing NuGet package.

To fix this, just highlight the text and run the NuGet Reverse Package Search command to search the package repository. Once the results are found, you can select the package to install from the drop-down and the extension will add the package to your project.

Requirements

  • A .NET Core project (only the "new" .csproj format is supported)
  • (optional) The OmniSharp plugin (why would you be doing .NET Core development without it??)

Extension Settings
