Install NuGet in Visual Studio

NCache provides NuGet packages which contain client libraries. Note that there is no licensing required for clients in case of Server activated licensing model.

Apart from client libraries, the NuGet package copies client.ncconf and config.ncconf to the application's local directory.

Important

If NCache is installed, NCache tries to read cache information from local configuration files first. If the required information is not found from local configs, it reads that information from configs inside NCache installation directory.
If NCache is not installed on the machine where the application is running, please make sure that all required information is given in these local configs. To create a client cache in this case, please follow the steps as provided in Admin Guide.

Client.ncconf contains the information about the cache servers of each cache that the application needs to access.
Config.ncconf is used for local inproc cache and inproc client caches. For client cache, config.ncconf must also contain the name of the clustered cache that this client cache is a part of.
