[UPDATED May 2011]<\/p>\n
We have now a much easier way to install and add a reference to AppFabric Client assemblies, using NuGet<\/strong>! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n See: http:\/\/www.nuget.org\/List\/Packages\/ServerAppFabric.Client<\/a> <\/p>\n —<\/p>\n In order to develop against AppFabric Cache, of course, you need to reference its Client-Cache assemblies.<\/p>\n You’d think it is a pretty straightforward action, but it is not. At least using current Beta and RC version, it is not like going to Visual Studio–>Add Reference—>Browse GAC assemblies, select it, and done?. Nope!. <\/p>\n And this is something I have to do again and again in different projects, so I thought it would be cool to have it stored here at my blog:<\/p>\n How to add a reference to Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Client:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. In VS, right click on your project and select Add Reference If you wanna know more about it, read the following articles:<\/p>\n http:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/aa384187(VS.85).aspx<\/a> <\/p>\n
2. Select the Browse tab
3. Write “%windir%\\Sysnative\\AppFabric<\/strong>” in the filename editbox and press enter
4. Locate and select both Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Client<\/strong> and Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core<\/strong> <\/p>\n
