# NuGet Reference Switcher
NuGet Reference Switcher is a Visual Studio extension which automatically switches NuGet assembly references to project references and vice-versa. This is useful when developing applications which reference own NuGet packages: When developing an application, switch to project references so that all code is editable and debuggable. After finishing the development, create new NuGet package versions, switch back to NuGet references and upgrade to the new NuGet versions.
### **[For .NET Core and Standard projects, check out DNT (DotNetTools)](https://github.com/RSuter/DNT)**
**[Guide about how to use the extension](https://github.com/rsuter/NuGetReferenceSwitcher/wiki/Guide)**
Features:
- Switches from NuGet DLL references to project references and stores the changes to revert them later
- Automatically adds and removes projects to the solution if desired
- Checks project dependencies so that the projects get added and removed in the correct order
