Create a class library project. You can use an existing.NET Standard Class Library project for the code you want to package or create a simple one as follows: Step 1. In Visual Studio, choose File New Project, expand the Visual C#.NET Standard node, select the 'Class Library (.NET Standard)' template, name the project ownNuGet,. To test the Nuget package, we can create a local feed of Nuget packages in Visual Studio. To create a local feed, create a new folder called MyLocalFeed on any drive. (You can name the folder as you like. I have created the folder on my E: drive.) Then add the Nuget package that was created earlier to this folder. This will is displayed in Visual Studio after your package is installed, and is written using markdown. You can check out our readme file here. Building Your Package.

Introduction

NuGet packages are pre-defined pieces of code which are reusable for other developers. You can add a NuGet package to your project and use it's functionality wherever you want in your project. We can also say that NuGet behaves like a platform, where developers can create and share code with the world. It contains code that's compiled as DLL which is nearly impossible to decrypt.
