You can use the NuGet Package Explorer to download packages outside VS.

Alternatively to proposed answers, you can:

1. Build solution to restore packages (online).
1. Refer to the packages folder in your `NuGet.config`:

```xml
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
&lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;packageSources&gt;
    &lt;clear /&gt;
    &lt;add key=&quot;NuGet&quot; value=&quot;https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;add key=&quot;Offline packages&quot; value=&quot;offline-packages&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/packageSources&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;
```

**NOTE that:**

1. `NuGet.config` should be in the same directory as your solution (`*.sln`) file.
1. If you want to push packages to the repository, rename directory or remove `**/packages/*` from the `.gitignore`.
1. In the above example, packages are moved to the `offline-packages` directory.

In C++, the `T q = dynamic_cast&lt;T&gt;(p);` construction performs a runtime cast of a pointer `p` to some other pointer type `T` that must appear in the inheritance hierarchy of the dynamic type of `*p` in order to succeed. That is all fine and well.

However, it is also possible to perform `dynamic_cast&lt;void*&gt;(p)`, which will simply return a pointer to the &quot;most derived object&quot; (see 5.2.7::7 in C++11). I understand that this feature probably comes out for free in the implementation of the dynamic cast, but is it useful in practice? After all, its return type is at best `void*`, so what good is this?

Are there practical uses for dynamic-casting to void pointer?

Using node.js, mongodb on mongoHQ and mongoose. I&#39;m setting a schema for Categories. I would like to use the document ObjectId as my categoryId.

    var mongoose = require(&#39;mongoose&#39;);
    
    var Schema = mongoose.Schema,
        ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;
    var Schema_Category = new Schema({
        categoryId  : ObjectId,
        title       : String,
        sortIndex   : String
    });

I then run

    var Category = mongoose.model(&#39;Schema_Category&#39;);
    var category = new Category();
    category.title = &quot;Bicycles&quot;;
    category.sortIndex = &quot;3&quot;;
    
    category.save(function(err) {
      if (err) { throw err; }
      console.log(&#39;saved&#39;);
      mongoose.disconnect();     
    });

Notice that I don&#39;t provide a value for categoryId. I assumed mongoose will use the schema to generate it but the document has the usual &quot;_id&quot; and not &quot;categoryId&quot;. What am I doing wrong?

How to set ObjectId as a data type in mongoose

My visual studio is installed on a machine which doesn&#39;t have internet connection so I can&#39;t download and install packages from NuGet Manager in VS.  
So I am looking for a way to use another machine which has internet connection to download packages and then install on VS.


Is there a way to download packages from nuget.org then do an offline installation into Visual Studio?

    Successfully uninstalled &#39;EntityFramework 4.2.0.0&#39;.

I receive same error while installing every package from console or gui. Reinstalling nuget, disabling other extentions and running VS as admin did not help me.

NuGet add reference error while installing packages

Opening VS2010 today, the extension manager notified me of an update for NuGet Package Manager.

During the install, I get an &#39;Installation Failed&#39; with an option to view the log.

The key error message I see in that log file is:

    The signature on the update version of &#39;NuGet Package Manager&#39; does not match 
    the signature on the installed version. Therefore, Extension Manager cannot 
    install the update.

The version numbers I am upgrading from/to are as follows.

    Current Version: 1.5.20902.9026  
    New Version: 1.6.21205.9031

I have also tried to install it while VS2010 is closed via this page:

NuGet Package Manager errors when trying to update

I added the recent nuget package restore feature to a solution using &#39;Enable NuGet Package Restore&#39;:
http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/using-nuget-without-committing-packages

However it broke my build server and I didn&#39;t have the time to fix it, so I wanted to remove it. There&#39;s no option for that as far as I know, so I removed the following line manually from all my *.csproj files:

    &lt;Import Project=&quot;$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\nuget.targets&quot; /&gt;

The problem now is that every time my *.csproj files are checked out or open my solution, the line is automatically added again, breaking my build if I accidentally check it in :(

Any ideas how I can remove it permanently?

UPDATE: despite the answer below it still keeps coming back when opening the solution, anyone with the same problem?


remove nuget package restore from solution

Whenever I&#39;m trying to install something or even just list the packages I get this error &quot;The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel&quot;

I tried [this][1] solution from Codeplex with no luck.

I use the [latest version of Nuget][2].

I also tried different options in devenv.exe.config like this:

    &lt;servicePointManager  checkCertificateName=&quot;false&quot;    checkCertificateRevocationList=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;

Visual Studio 2010 nuget error: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel

I checked in a project on one computer, checked out on another, and find that the binaries installed by NuGet are missing.  I could check them in to source control as well, but it looks like there&#39;s a better solution:

http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/using-nuget-without-committing-packages

I followed those instructions, now have a `.nuget` folder where one should be, have the following entries in my .csproj file:

    &lt;RestorePackages&gt;true&lt;/RestorePackages&gt;
    &lt;Import Project=&quot;$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\nuget.targets&quot; /&gt;

and yet when I rebuild my solution, the missing packages are not restored. 

What am I missing?  How can I diagnose this problem?

NuGet Package Restore Not Working

I have an automated build process that I&#39;d like to extend so I can build the libraries I am distributing via NuGet.  Currently, running nuget.exe to create the packages is a manual operation.

**What is the best way to setup VS 2010 so that my NuGet package (*.nupkg) file is the end result of a &quot;Release&quot; build?**

Keep in mind that I have other files (content and tools) for some of the packages. And, in most cases, I have multiple projects merged into a single NuGet package to support .NET 4, Silveright and Phone 7.

*(I should clarify that the existing &quot;automated&quot; process is a simple batch-file runner that builds a solution using the command line.)*

**UPDATE**

I want to refresh this discussion because the issue has not been resolved.  While the link @pravin supplied is helpful, it doesn&#39;t address the fact that I have multiple projects in a single package as well as other contents like PowerShell scripts, configuration and source code transformations, etc.

The best example I can use is an assembly that has both a .NET 4 and Silverlight 5 version. These are distributed in the same package.  I cannot use a post-build event to create the package because the package is dependent upon TWO projects.

Automating creating NuGet package as part of build process

I have two repositories, and I need compiled libraries from one repository in the other. I don&#39;t want to manually check repo1 for updated libraries, and copy/commit to repo2, because that is stupid. I&#39;ve got repo1 building NuGet packages on each build of the necessary libraries, and publishing them to an internal NuGet server. Projects in repo2 can then reference these NuGet packages, and everything is (almost) working. 

The one last hurdle to this is automatically updating the NuGet packages in repo2&#39;s projects. Since I don&#39;t know when the libraries in repo1 will get updated (and I shouldn&#39;t have to), I would like some sort of build event on the projects in repo2 that will automatically update the NuGet packages. I currently just have a pre-build event doing it, but since packages.config files contain the version number of the installed package, I keep getting modified files in repo2 (the packages.config files get updated).

So my question is: what&#39;s a good way to automatically upgrade NuGet packages without mucking up my repo2 VCS? ScottGu says [Here][1] (in comments) that it&#39;s possible to hook package upgrades up to CI builds, but he doesn&#39;t specify how and my current solution is messy. Is there a built in way that I&#39;m missing? Or any better work-arounds?

How to automatically update NuGet packages to latest available version

Nuget packages download Javascript files to ~/Scripts

I prefer to keep my content organized in a ~/content folder, which contains

    ~/content/css
    ~/content/images
    ~/content/scripts
    ~/content/scripts/vendor (for packages/ downlaoded scripts)
    ~/content/scripts/site (my own site&#39;s JS)

How do I make Nuget download Javascript files to `~/content/scripts/vendor`?

NuGet scripts to different directory

I want to install an older version of a package (`Newtonsoft.Json`). But NuGet rolls back:

    PM&gt; Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json -Version 4.0.5
    Successfully installed &#39;Newtonsoft.Json 4.0.5&#39;.
    Install failed. Rolling back...
    Install-Package : Already referencing a newer version of &#39;Newtonsoft.Json&#39;.

How can I do it?
