ZPT-Sharp NuGet Bundles

The recommended way to install ZPT-Sharp into your own software project is via the NuGet package manager.

This page lists a number of NuGet bundle packages which are provided in order to get ZPT-Sharp installed quickly and without fuss.

ZPT-Sharp is a customisable, plugin-based piece of software though. If you would prefer to customise the components installed then you are free to tailor your installation and hand-pick NuGet packages instead.

The packages

Any of the following packages will install and set up ZPT-Sharp. Each provides everything you would expect of 'the standard distribution'.

ZPT-Sharp for ASP.NET MVC5

This bundle is for using ZPT-Sharp as an ASP.NET MVC5 ViewEngine.

After installing the NuGet package you will need to make a one-time change to your view-engine registrations. Then, you are ready to write views using ZPT.

ZPT-Sharp ZptBuilder application

This bundle installs ZptBuilder.exe, the command-line ZPT page-rendering application.

This stand-alone application renders documents based on a model provided using command-line parameters.

ZPT-Sharp API bundle

This bundle installs just the ZPT-Sharp API, for use in your own applications. The API documentation contains more information about how to make use of ZPT to create a page-rendering application with no dependencies on web components.
