Azure Libraries for .NET

Use the libraries in the .NET SDK for Azure to manage and consume Azure services in your applications.

The .NET SDK for Azure libraries all support .NET Framework. .NET Core support is provided by most packages. Verify .NET Core support by checking for a .NETStandard dependency, as seen with WindowsAzure.Storage. Some of these packages are in preview, requiring you to opt into search and installation of preview NuGet packages.

Tip

Fluent libraries (ending in *.Fluent) improve the developer experience by providing a higher-level, object-oriented API optimized for readability and writability. Fluent syntax removes guesswork by clarifying what is required vs. optional vs. non-modifiable. These libraries can run side-by-side with non-fluent libraries, so use the fluent packages if you prefer that syntax. Microsoft.Azure.Management.Fluent is a rollup package that contains all of the fluent management libraries.

Install for Visual Studio

If you're using Visual Studio, use the NuGet Package Manager Console to import the package into your project.

1. With your Visual Studio solution open, launch the console by clicking Tools, followed by NuGet Packager Manager, and then click Package Manager Console.

   

2. In the console window, use the Install-Package cmdlet to download and install the NuGet package. For example, to include the latest version of the Azure Resource Management Library for .NET:

   Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.Management.ResourceManager -Pre 

   To use a specific version, include the version number like this:

   Install-Package Microsoft.Azure.Management.ResourceMananger -Version 1.4.0-preview

Install for other editors

If you're using .NET Core with Visual Studio Code (or any other editor), edit your csproj file to add the package as a PackageReference element. This example uses a specific version of Microsoft.Azure.Management.ResourceManager, which is the best practice, but NuGet floating versions are also supported.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Management.ResourceManager" Version="1.4.0-preview" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Tip

Previous versions of .NET Core used project.json files instead of csproj. To learn about mapping project.json to csproj, see this document.
