Hello! I like so much your project. I need to modificate some things of your project to adapt to my idea. Can you send my the code without lock to change this aspects? Thank you!!

Hi @anxofcostas, glad you're enjoying things and that it's useful. The code is already here on this repository, MIT licensed, and you can easily fork the code and modify it or just download it for your own needs. Have fun!

It's OK. :) Just build the project (using Visual Studio or dotnet build on the command line) and it will output a .DLL file that you can reference in whatever project you are working on.

And inside which folder can I find that .DLL ?
Thank you so much!

Other question is: When I install and open the project and I don´t modify anything, I get a Error: Severity Code Description Project Project File Line Status suppressed
Error Could not restore NuGet package for NetSparkle.Xamarin project: 'NuGet.Build.Packaging' package version '0.2.5-dev.8' could not be found.

. See the Error List window for more detailed errors and warnings.

How can I solve it?

When you build the NetSparkle library (or one of the UI ones) inside of Visual Studio, it will show you the output location in the Output window. See also https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/output-window?view=vs-2022. Generally speaking, for NetSparkle, this is in a subfolder of [Path to NetSparkle folder]/src/bin. You'll also see the output folder via the dotnet build action.

The NetSparkle.Xamarin project is not complete, nor is it functional on Windows. Don't worry about this or try to build it that project.

If you want to reference the whole project, it depends on your setup as to how you'll want to do this. Generally speaking you can copy the code to your code folder and add the NetSparkle project(s) to your solution file (.sln). See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47634380/adding-reference-of-another-external-project-in-a-solution. But it depends on your setup.
