Issue adding IdentityDbContext

Question

I am using Asp Net core 3 and trying to add identity core. When I add IdentityDbContext it gives error and if I change IdentityDbContext to DbContext error is gone. The same issue is when I try to add SQL sever using IdentityDbContext but no error when using DbContext. I am getting the following error "There is no implicit reference conversion from IdentityDbContext to Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext" . I added the following NuGet package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlserver. Kindly help.

Put your cursor on IdentityDbContext and press F12, ...

I navigated to IdentityDbContext class, its empty nothing in that class.

That means that you have accidentally created that class through Intellisense. Look at where it is located: in your project, not the library.

Find that class in your project and remove it. Then fix whatever references/usings the Startup class needs.
