We are thrown different challenges !!!! mine was get the framework done in C#

As the technology stack was .Net/IIS servers.

Here's a step by step illustration of Integrating Visual Studio 2010 with NuGet, webDriver C# bindings ,Team Foundation Server

Pre-requisites :

1. I have a licensed Visual Studio 2010 installed on my box,if you don't you can live with a trial version too

2. Now adding NuGet to Visual Studio 2010

A bit about NuGet : Yeah it’s NuGet & not Nugget  to all those nugget fans
NuGet is a Visual Studio that makes it easy to install and update third party
libraries(In our case it is webDriver API’s) and tools in Visual Studio.

3. VS 2010 > Click on Tools > Extension Manager

a. As shown in the screen shot as you don’t have NuGet already installed you should see DOWNLOAD against the NuGet Package Manager

b. I have NuGet on my box so a little green icon.

We are now done with adding NuGet Package Manager
