Question

Nuget is not working in Visual Studio 2010 for dot net framework 4.0 project.

thomas magami 21

I'm trying to install Nuget on Visual Studio 2010. I want to install Azure blob Storage library in my dotnet framework 4 project in Visual Studio project. I'm getting error after installing the NuGet package manager when I right click on the Project and click on the Manage Nuget Package Manager I get error Operation failed. Value cannot be null. Parameter name:source.

I have two questions: Can we install the Nuget Package Manager in Visual Studio 2010 for .net 4 framework if yes how can I install it?

Which Azure Blob Storage version I need to use for the .net 4 framework.

Hi @thomas magami ,

The NuGet Package Manager for VS 2010 looks to be available, it can be installed, but the last updated time is 4/3/2015, so you may get some issues when using it.

After you successfully installed it, if you click Tools > Library Package Manager > Package Manager Settings, will you see any configuration for package source? If it's empty, try to add some package sources, for example, nuget.org and check if package manager works.

Hello @thomas magami , Azure.Storage.Blobs latest version (12.18.0) supports .NET Framework 4.6.2 which is the minimum version supported by modern versions of Visual Studio. You should upgrade both your .NET Framework and Visual Studio version to, at least, versions 4.6.2 and 2017 respectively.

For information take a look to Visual Studio Product Lifecycle and Servicing and Microsoft .NET Framework.
