In a .NET 8 or higher Windows Forms project, TX Text Control comes from the NuGet package `TXTextControl.TextControl.WinForms.SDK`. It holds the controls, the document engine and your license. What the package contains, the sources it comes from and how you install and update it are covered below. .NET Framework projects reference the assemblies of the setup instead and do not use it.

### The Package at a Glance

On a development machine, you install the package from **Text Control Offline Packages**, the local source of the setup; on a build server, from the Text Control Private NuGet Feed. [Package Overview](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/installation/nuget/packages/llms-full.txt) lists its target framework, its current version and what it contains.
