[SOLVED] Is there a Lightspeed 5.x NuGet package that can be used with ASP.Net 5?

Is there a Lightspeed 5.x NuGet package that can be used with ASP.Net 5?

I did a search on NuGet and couldn't find a Lightspeed NuGet package.

I have pro license for Lightspeed 5 so I have all the binaries I need to use Lightspeed in a non-ASP.Net 5 code.

However, it is my understanding that ASP.Net 5 doesn't allow you to allow you to reference DLLs directly, you have to create a NuGet package first.

So, I created a NuGet package of my POCO objects, DB context and Lightspeed references and added it to a .Net Framework 4.5 console application; it added the appropriate references (NuGet spec I used is show below).

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package >
  <metadata>
    <id>$id$</id>
    <version>$version$</version>
    <title>$id$</title>
    <authors>$author$</authors>
    <owners>$author$</owners>
    <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
    <description>$description$</description>
    <copyright>Copyright 2015</copyright>
    <references>
      <reference file="$id$.dll" />
      <reference file="Mindscape.LightSpeed.dll" />
      <reference file="Mindscape.LightSpeed.Linq.dll" />
    </references>
  </metadata>
  <files>
    <file src="..\Mindscape.Lightspeed\Mindscape.LightSpeed.dll" target="lib\net45\Mindscape.LightSpeed.dll" />
    <file src="..\Mindscape.Lightspeed\Mindscape.LightSpeed.Linq.dll" target="lib\net45\Mindscape.LightSpeed.Linq.dll" />
  </files>
</package>

However, this didn't work as expect when I tried to add this package to my to my ASP.Net 5 website (package added but using statement causes a compiler error).

Does anyone know a work-around to get Lightspeed working with ASP.Net 5?

Ideally Mindscape would publish a NuGet package.

Solution

Turns out the have their own NuGet feed that is listed in the "Keys" section of your subscription
