Microsoft package manager Yes, for Visual Studio 2010

Today, along with the release of ASP.NET MVC 3 Beta ( announcement on Habré ), a new development of Microsoft was introduced - the console package manager NuPack.

This tool integrates into Visual Studio 2010 and allows using the console from the Microsoft repository to install additional components in projects: libraries, scripts, templates, and in general everything that can be added to studio projects. The package manager is able to detect dependencies and automatically install them. Accordingly, deletion is fully supported. In addition, NuPack is an open source project.

The video shows a small preview of working with NuPack: logging using the third-party ELMAH library is added to the new project using the console, then the GUI version of the repository is demonstrated:

Highly recommend a review from Scott Hanselman ( here ). You can download NuPack and get more information from the project page .
