OData dll version issue

Question

In Package configuration file, I gave version 7.0.0 for OData dll's.

<package id="Microsoft.OData.Core" version="7.0.0" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="Microsoft.OData.Edm" version="7.0.0" targetFramework="net461" />

Sometime the bin folder showed me the version 6 of OData dll's, what could be the reason?

Sometime if I delete the bin folder and recompile again, the version is correct, but sometime it's wrong. Please suggest!

If you keep on facing the same problem, you can opt for bindingRedirect to a lower verion as in this StackOverflow Post in your configuration file.

<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
         <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.OData.Core"
                              publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"
                              culture="neutral" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="7.0.0"
                             newVersion="6.0.4"/>
         </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
   </runtime>
</configuration>
