Building VB project in Azure Pipeline with Syncfusion packages

[Aart Wessels]

I'm trying to set up an Azure CI/CD pipeline for a Winforms VB build, for a project using Syncfusion packages.

The build on Azure fails, as it can't resolve the Syncfusion references. Is there a way, for example through Azure Artifacts to have the build process get the packages in Azure? Is anyone doing something similar?

We've made a public Git repository and included the VB project with the Syncfusion package, just like you suggested. The project built successfully in the Azure pipeline, and we didn't run into any problems with the Syncfusion package references.

Here are the steps we took to set up and build the VB project in the Azure Pipeline using GitHub as the source control. You can find a detailed guide here: https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/post/easy-steps-to-integrate-azure-pipelines.aspx

1. First, log in to the Azure Portal: https://portal.azure.com/

2. Then, go to the Deployment Center in the Publish App Service menu.

3. Choose GitHub as the source control option.

4. Follow the prompts to provide your GitHub credentials and select the repository, project, and branch details.

5. Complete the configuration for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD).

For your convenience, we've shared the repository details: https://github.com/Moorthy-K/VbSyncfusion

You can also check the details of the successful pipeline run here: https://github.com/Moorthy-K/VbSyncfusion/actions/runs/5834144332/job/15823054648

Thanks, your examples helped a lot. 

My problem was apparently in how the packages were referenced in the .vbproj definition. When I used the same way you did in your example, they got properly processed by Nuget.
