ASP.Net Web Form Front End Powered by GroupDocs.Viewer

I'm trying to get the following project to load in VS 2015:

https://github.com/groupdocs-viewer/GroupDocs.Viewer-for-.NET/tree/master/Showcases/ASP.NET_WebForm_Front_End

But I keep getting the following error:


This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Desktop\GroupDocs.Viewer-for-.NET-master\Showcases\ASP.NET_WebForm_Front_End\\.nuget\NuGet.targets. GroupDocs.Viewer.WebForm.FrontEnd \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Desktop\GroupDocs.Viewer-for-.NET-master\Showcases\ASP.NET_WebForm_Front_End\GroupDocs.Viewer.WebForm.FrontEnd\GroupDocs.Viewer.WebForm.FrontEnd.csproj 905


This worked for me:


<ol style=“margin: 0px 0px 1em 30px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(36, 39, 41); font-family: Arial, “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);”>
  • Delete .nuget/NuGet.exe
  • Delete .nuget/NuGet.targets
  • For each project:
    1. Unload the project
    2. Right click → Edit the project
    3. Delete all references to the NuGet.targets file, i.e. the following:
  • <blockquote style=“margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; border-top-style: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(255, 235, 142); border-image: initial; font-size: 15px; quotes: none; background-color: rgb(255, 248, 220); color: rgb(36, 39, 41); font-family: Arial, “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, sans-serif;”><pre style=“margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 5px; border: 0px; font-size: 13px; width: auto; max-height: 600px; overflow: auto; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, “Lucida Console”, “Liberation Mono”, “DejaVu Sans Mono”, “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono”, “Courier New”, monospace, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(239, 240, 241); word-wrap: normal;”><code style=“margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, “Lucida Console”, “Liberation Mono”, “DejaVu Sans Mono”, “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono”, “Courier New”, monospace, sans-serif; white-space: inherit;”>true

    Hi Nathan,


    Thanks for using GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

    Please don’t forget to enable NuGet Packages Restore option to download/add the missing packages/references after loading the project in Visual Studio. In case you are using Visual Studio 2015, please remove the tags mentioned in this screenshot from the project file (.csproj) and then reload the project. Hope it helps.

    Warm Regards
