Put enhancer into Nuget

[Chris]

We've had an interesting issue where our production environment may not be on the same Data Access version as our test and stage environments thus creating build problems for our CI system since you can only have one version installed at a time. I've noticed Microsoft has started distributed MSBuild tasks via Nuget. Would it be possible for the Data Access enhancer MSBuild task to be distributed via Nuget so that I don't ever have to install Data Access unless I want to use designer features in VS?

Hello Chris,

We are already distributing Telerik Data Access three NuGet packages that you can download and try:

• Telerik.DataAccess.Fluent - package that should be used in your data model project, includes the Enhancer;
• Telerik.DataAccess.Core - package with references necessary for any project using Telerik Data Access models and entities
• Telerik.DataAccess.Fluent.Sample - package to get you started with writing your Fluent mapping using Telerik Data Access.

These packages are update when we are releasing a new version of the product and you can enjoy updates via NuGet Package Manager.
You can find detailed information about the packages in this documentation article.
If you need assistance setting up your RLINQ model to operate using NuGet packages just let us know.

Regards,
Viktor Zhivkov

Thanks for the feedback. I guess it would help if I'd read the documentation :)
