Nuget packages possible problem? about mvvmforms HOT 8 CLOSED

Ok, went and added by hand the missing dll from the location it had been downloaded into by nuget.

Now, when I try to add a MvvmManager, I get an error saying "could not load file or assembly MvvmBaseLib.NetStandard..."

Which .NET Framework are you targeting?
I think we need 4.7 for 2.3.2 Beta. @surgien, can you give some advise?

About the toolbox: You need to do a trick to populate them to the toolbox, since a NuGet cannot populate the toolbox, and we did not want a VSIX. (If you had a solution for that, we'd be HAPPY to hear about! :-) ). The Wiki describes how it is done.

Thanks for the fast response!

I'm targeting 4.5.2.
I followed the Wiki, but as I said in my original post, I ended up not having the dlls in my bin folder after installing the nuget and building.
Don't worry for delays, I'm in GMT+2.

Since we decided to go for .NET Standard 2.0, I suppose 4.5.2 will not work (they're simply not compatible). If you cannot upgrade to 4.7 or 4.7.1, then you need to downgrade MvvmForms to 2.x (@surgien need to confirm the highest working Version), but you need to use PCLs then. (You could try to use the backwards compatibility setting for .NET Standard Dlls by inserting this

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard1.4</TargetFramework>
    <PackageTargetFallback>$(PackageTargetFallback);portable-win+net45+wp8+win81+wpa8</PackageTargetFallback>
  </PropertyGroup>

into your project, but I personally did never test this, so I would not be able to say reliably, if that's really working. Target would then be .NET Standard 1.4, if I remember correctly.)

Sooo, I installed 4.7.1 and created a new test project and it now works!
My problem now is that when I go to the MvvmManager and select "Manage View/ViewModel Bindings..." I get a pop up "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: collection" with an OK button. When I press the button, VS crashes and restarts itself.. this is VS 2015 Community.

The DataContextType-Property is empty. You have to define a type first. Crash will be fixed.

Can we issue a MessageBox-Box warning that the DataContextType-Property is not set, and not swallow silently?
