To build XenCenter, you need

and also some libraries which we do not store in the source tree:

• CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll
• Newtonsoft.Json.dll

You can find the source code of these libraries (along with some patches) in dotnet-packages repository.

To run the NUnit tests you will need the following libraries:
