I get this error Could not load file or assembly "System Threading Tasks Extensions" after installing EF Core 3.1.3

I'm trying to use EF Core in my project so I download the last stable version 3.1.3
I created a DbContext and classes from my database using Scaffold-DbContext command in Package Manager console, and after all thing are establish I try to using this code

 using (var dbContext = new SIMContext())
        {
            var department = new Department();
            department.NameDepartment = txtDepartment.Text;
            department.DescriptionDepartment = txtDescription.Text;

            await dbContext.AddAsync(department).ConfigureAwait(true);
            await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync().ConfigureAwait(true);

        }

but when I try to save data to the database and in this line of code

await dbContext.AddAsync(department).ConfigureAwait(true);

I get this error

I try to clean my solution and clear NuGet caches but I still have the same error.
I try the same code with .NET Core 5 and EF Core 5 and I succeeded.
My project is on:
.NET framework 4.7.2
EF Core 3.1.3
System Threading Tasks Extensions 4.5.4

How can I solve this problem?.

Solution

  • It is looking for an earlier version of System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions, Version=4.2.0.0.

    You can try Assembly version redirection: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/redirect-assembly-versions

    This can of course produce problems if you are redirecting between major versions of an assembly.

    Hope this helps
