Nuget package dependency between projects

Question

Let's say that I have 2 class libraries.

I have included a NuGet package in project A. I need to instantiate classes from that package in project B.

Should I simply add references to the package by browsing from project A and point out the dll? Or is there another option?

You can add the same NuGet package in project B and use it.

Package manager in Visual Studio creates a directory inside your SoutionDir called "packages", it contains all NuGet dlls from all projects. So it does not download it 2 times...

If you need classes from a package, add the package reference in project B through Nuget Package.

If you just need the classes from project A in project B, then add reference to project A from project B.

Wrong, you shouldn't reference Project A if the only reference your really need is in the NuGet Package. Reference the NuGet Package in Project B instead.

@phifi He said he needed classes from project A, so he must reference project A.

ok, maybe he is not clear enough in his question, but he wrote "I need to instantiate classes from that PACKAGE".
