I have a .NET Standard project that uses the library "RethinkDb.Driver" but when I start my project and I have the following error
Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies
However, my project already uses Newtonsoft.Json 12.0.3.
I however can't go back to the version 10.0.0 because I'm also using another library that needs the latest version.
I checked my .csproj and the PackageReference is here, pointing to the version 12.0.3
I also already tried things like cleaning the NuGet cache but it didn't fix anything.
You have to use assembly redirect
.
You have to put it in your config file.
It will be app.config
in library and executable project, and web.config
if it's a web project
That is a directive to dotnet to resolve this dependency to newVersion
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30AD4FE6B2A6AEED" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-12.0.3.0" newVersion="12.0.3.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
