In one of my older projects, I use the Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack-Shell (and -Core) package (1.1.0.2) from Microsoft. I wanted to include these packages in one of my current project, only to find a lot of veeery similar looking packages (Microsoft-WindowsAPICodePack-Shell, Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell, ...) but all of them not from Microsoft.
My first thought was this might be some kind of fraud, but they have millions of downloads and I do not find the package from Microsoft in NuGet. From what I understand is, that there were no updates from MS anymore, so people started to fork it
Is this how it is supposed to be and if yes, which of the "copycat" package should I use?
Thanks in advance,
Frank
I searched the MS Projects in NuGet and tried to find something about these other projects. They seem to be legit, but I wonder why there are more than one and which one to use ...
