Add Assemblies to Visual Studio 2015 ASP.NET 5

Question

I want to add "Stimulsoft.Report.dll" as an assembly in my Visual Studio 2015 ASP.Net 5 project.

But the reference manager does not contain the assemblies section with the extentions area(as it is in VS 2013), where i could select "Stimulsoft.Report" and add this to my references.

Is there any solution adding these reference to my ASP.NET 5 project?

you can add the assembly if it available in GAC like below code

 "frameworks": { "aspnet50": { "frameworkAssemblies": { "Stimulsoft.Report": "" } } }

in the second part, you can give the version and type of the assembly

In your project.json you can do:

"frameworks": { "aspnet50": { "bin": { "assembly": "<path to dll>", "pdb": "<path to pdb if needed>" } } }

One workaround is to create a class library project with your 3rd party library reference. Then use a project reference from your website to the class library project.

Edit: Use a traditional class library, not an ASP.Net 5 class library.
