I use the mongo csharp driver version 1.9.1. But, I have a problem with this dll. The exception is:
Could not load file or assembly 'MongoDB.Bson, Version=1.9.1.221, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f686731cfb9cc103' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)":"MongoDB.Bson, Version=1.9.1.221, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f686731cfb9cc103.
Does anybody have any suggestion ?
Thanks a lot in advance
I was having the same problem, this error occurs due to conflict you may have added more than one reference to MonogoDb in your Solution.
Solution: If there are more than one project in your solution remove MongoDb references from all project and then add to only one project that is dependent on all other projects. It worked for me.
To build on Amanullah Tariq's answer; You may have more than one project referencing MongoDb or its drivers, HOWEVER; [solution] make sure that each project make use of the same version. That was what was causing my error. If the versions are not the same, make sure to either upgrade or downgrade the versions to match. I hope this helps any one struggling with this issue in the future.
For me, it was not possible to remove the MongoDB references from all the projects and refer to single project, as it's a utility solution and works on different .net frameworks and .net core versions.
So, I have updated the mongodb driver for the project using nuget and it worked.
Other projects are also working fine. As, MongoDB Drivers gets the reference from the common place.
Before Update of nuget:
After Update of nuget:
If any of the project fails then just update MongoDB.Driver version to the latest.
For .Net Framework:
Check your packages.config file, It will be something like this (sample for 4.7.2 framework):
<package id="MongoDB.Driver" version="2.12.0" targetFramework="net472" />
For .Net Core: check in .csproj file in <ItemGroup>. Something like this:
<ItemGroup>
...... // other are deleted just to focus on main part
<PackageReference Include="MongoDB.Driver" Version="2.12.0" />
</ItemGroup>
I have another odd ball solution, in case the others didn't help. My issue was that when I would remove the nuget package. It would not remove the dlls from the bin folder. So even if you installed the new package. The dlls in the bin folder were still from the old one.
Solution
First remove the nuget package
Right click the project and do a "Clean"
Then go into the bin folder and make sure its empty. If not delete
everything in it.
Finally install the new nuget package.

I have a C# project, TrendMasterCS2, built in VS 2019 that uses a DLL, TrendData, that relies on System.Data.SQLite.Core, which I get through the NuGet Package Manager. I opened the TrendMasterCS2 sollutio and uninstalled all NuGet packages from both the executable project and the DLL project. Then, I added the System.Data.SQLite.Core package to the TrendData project. I saved all files, and then opened the project file in Notepad. I saw this:
<Reference Include="System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.113.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\TrendMasterCS2\packages\Stub.System.Data.SQLite.Core.NetFramework.1.0.113.3\lib\net45\System.Data.SQLite.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
This looks like a problem to me. If I ever want to use the TrendData DLL in some other solution, it's going to be carrying around this dependency on the TrendMaster2 folder. I think I can open TrendData by itself in VS2019 and add the NuGet package there, but is that what I have to do to ensure that TrendData is independent of TrendMasterCS2?
Consider to migrate from packages.config to PackageReference. (In Visual Studio, right click the packages.config and select Migrate packages.config to PackageReference...).
One benefit of PackageReference is that all packages will be restored to a global package cache directory and the tooling takes care of the actual reference path at compile time.
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/consume-packages/migrate-packages-config-to-package-reference for details.
As an alternative you could create a nuget.config file and change the repositoryPath as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/nuget-config-file#packagerestore-section
However I did not get managed to store packages in a project-local path using nuget.config.
I have a .NET Standard 2.0 class library project with installed Nuget package System.Data.SqlClient version 4.4.0 and a Windows Form .NET Framework 4.7 project that has a reference to that class library.
Installing the Nuget Package and building the solution is successful. but in runtime every time that the code reaches a method that has any thing from SqlClient assembly inside it (for example an instance from SqlConnection) it gets this error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlClient,
Version=4.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or
one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Considering this question, I assume the problem was also there in the last major version of the Nuget package.
Edit
I downloaded the Nuget package and unzipped it and from \ref\netstandard2.0 folder copied the System.DataSqlClient.dll manually in \bin\Debug folder of my Windows Form Project and now it works. The exact situation also happened with Microsoft.Win32.Registry package. So I was almost convinced that it's my fault and I'm doing something the wrong way, but when I tested it with System.Drawing.Primitive Package it worked perfectly without any need to copy a dll. Now I'm really confused.
I guess you may have figured it out already but hope it would help someone - wasted some time too on this.
So, in order to make everything work you would need to reference System.Data.SqlClient in Windows Form project that is referencing your .NET Standard Library
From that point everything should be working like a charm
As you already mentioned System.Data.SqlClient.dll was not in output directory.
Sounds like .NET Standard Library haven't grabbed with itself dependent library binary. There is nothing like "Copy Local" option in .NET Standard references so I don't see any way to check or set this behavior too
I had same problem.
Solution for me was adding dependecy from nuget for latest System.Data.SqlClient at my .NET Standard Library project.
I had the same problem. The .NETStandard assembly was added as a reference to my WPF project. I needed to make changes in the .csproj of the WPF project.
The solution mentioned in https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/901 fixes it.
Steps:
Edit your core .csproj file in notepad.
Add the below two lines in each that you find in it.
<RestoreProjectStyle>PackageReference</RestoreProjectStyle>
<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
Clean and rebuild your solution.
I had a similar problem, bindingRedirect helped in my case:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.4.0.0" newVersion="4.4.0.0"/>
I'm having more than one solution file for my project each pointing to a different target frameworks.
I'm able to restore the nugets for each solution using nuget restore command.
The problem arises when i try to use the update command.
Found multiple project files for package warning is shown and my packages are not updated to the latest version.
Am i doing anything wrong here?
I recently migrated all my Visual Studio 2013 projects to Visual Studio 2015 and followed the steps documented in this article by Nuget to make sure that automatic package restore is still working, in short
I deleted the Nuget.exe and Nuget.target files from source control and disk
I updated all project files and deleted the sections related to Nuget
I'm experiencing a problem when I'm updating Nuget packages, it is not updating the project references to point to the newest dll versions. I can see that the newest packages was installed though. This problem is also not related to specific packages.
Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?
NuGet package restore does not modify the project files. It just downloads and extracts the NuGet packages to the packages directory.
If you are trying to edit the packages.config file and then have the project's updated you would have to use the Package Manager Console and run:
Update-Package -reinstall
Which will uninstall and install the packages again and update the project's references.
We realized that some of our junior developers only installed the required Nuget packages for ONE project in the solution, they then added references to the required dll's for all other projects by browsing to the physical location of the dll's on disk. This obviously caused the problem because only ONE of the projects in the solution contained entries for Nuget packages in it's packages.config file while the remaining projects in the solution contained none.
When all packages were updated using the Update-Package command only the ONE project containing entries in it's packages.config file were updated with the correct project references.
Even though this is not a Nuget bug and rather a problem caused by inexperience, I logged an issue with Nuget to see if they can improve the software to prevent these types of problems.
So I recently had a very similar issue as well, unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling did not work. Hopefully this helps anyone else as it was very frustrating.
Steps:
go to or launch the quick launch feature.
type package manager
select "tools->Nuget PackageManager-> Package Manager Settings"
In the options window that pops up. click "Clear All Nuget Cache(s)"
Right click solution and select Restore Nuget Packages.
Hope this helps.
I was facing an issue with NuGet package of Newtonsoft.Json as shown below:
I tried all possible solutions but none of the below mentioned ones worked:
Cleaning solution
Rebuilding solution
Clearing NuGet package cache
Finally I realized it had something to do with .NET Framework version targeted by my C# project. There was some mismatch it seems. The moment I upgraded the .NET Framework version of my project to latest, the Newtonsoft.Json package dependency and its reference came alive instantly.
Something I just noticed, and I'm not sure if this will help you or anyone else reading this, but this issue literally wracked my brain. The problem was that I was installing packages that I had created myself using NuGet Package Explorer on Windows.
It turned out that, I believe after updating NuGet Package Explorer, it was no longer putting DLLs that I included into the lib folder. Once I started manually adding the lib folder back into the package within Package Explorer, and then uploading to NuGet and reinstalling in the consuming project, that the reference would once again start to appear.
I'm not sure what caused this behavior - it could have been my own fault, but I literally just now figured this out - and consequently have to go back and re-do a whole bunch of NuGet package goodness that I've done over the past month. OUCH.
Hope this saves someone at least an ounce of pain.
None of the above worked for me.
What did work, was to edit the project file directly and delete the existing reference. When I reloaded the project, the package then showed up in references as a Nuget package.
I happened to come across the same problem. i tried all the possible solution but found the solution - just open the .proj file in an text editor and check the package Version and the HintPath in the Reference tag. Sometime there is an mismatch correct it then Visual studio will recognize. I hope everyone can save lot of time. Here is an sample to refer
<Reference Include="nunit.framework, Version=3.4.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2638cd05610744eb">
<HintPath>..\packages\NUnit.3.4.1\lib\net45\nunit.framework.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
Migrating to PackageReferences worked for me for the projects that allowed it. My Asp.Net project could not be migrated, so I resorted to manually adding the references to the .csproj file
I ran into an issue recently with NuGet restore. I added a project dependency (in this case PostSharp) and then enabled restore. I checked in the source, but not the /packages directory (as I shouldn't needed to....right!). When TeamCity or another developer grabs the source and runs MsBuild, they receive the following error:
C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\e374975c0264c72e\ProjectName\ProjectName.csproj(70, 3): error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\e374975c0264c72e\packages\PostSharp.2.1.5.1\tools\PostSharp.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
The problem is, NuGet hasn't run yet to restore/download PostSharp or it's .targets file. This feels like a NuGet bug to me, but wanted to see if others have this same issue.
Anybody have this issue or know the resolution. Yes, I could check-in the /packages directory, but then why use NuGet at all?
Another approach is to modify the <Import> element in question, to make it conditional, e.g.:
<Import Project="$(CodeAssassinTargets)" Condition="Exists($(CodeAssassinTargets))" />
This depends on a new property defined in an earlier <PropertyGroup>. I usually add one at the top of csproj file with other "global" flags, e.g.:
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<CodeAssassinTargets>$(SolutionDir)packages\CodeAssassin.ConfigTransform.1.1\tools\CodeAssassin.ConfigTransform.targets</CodeAssassinTargets>
<AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings>false</AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings>
<UseMsdeployExe>true</UseMsdeployExe>
</PropertyGroup>
Then in an appropriate target, like BeforeBuild, give a helpful error message:
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<Error Text="CodeAssassin.ConfigTransforms target is missing. It needs to exist at $(CodeAssassinTargets) in order to build this project!" Condition="!Exists($(CodeAssassinTargets))" />
</Target>
With these modifications, the project will load even if the nuget package restore has never been done. If auto package restore is enabled, the first build attempt should clear up the missing target issue, but if it does not, one manual package restore will.
#porterhouse91, have you checked your csproj file to make sure it has been set up with the appropriate build target?
I haven't yet tried the new built-in Package Restore feature, but I'm assuming it works at least somewhat like the previous workflows out there on the interwebs. If that's the case, enabling Package Restore in your solution only affects the projects in your solution at the time you enable it. If you've added a new project (having NuGet dependencies) to the solution since enabling Package Restore, you're gonna need to enable it again.
Another possibility: the previous workflows involved having a .nuget folder that you needed to check in to VCS, so you might need to check that in if it hasn't been checked in yet (if the built-in Package Restore feature does indeed use this approach).
BTW, if this answer is at all helpful, thank Stephen Ritchie -- he asked me to give it a shot for you.
I had a problem like this as well, but I was able to modify the .targets file in the source package to work around it. Basically, RestorePackages is a build target that runs when the project is built. Unfortunately, the package won't even load properly before the imports are satisfied. The only way I know to fix this is to include the .targets file as content and then change the BuildDependsOn property so it restores the packages before it runs your custom tasks.
<PropertyGroup>
<BuildDependsOn Condition="$(BuildDependsOn.Contains('RestorePackages'))">
RestorePackages;
CustomTarget;
$(BuildDependsOn);
</BuildDependsOn>
<BuildDependsOn Condition="!$(BuildDependsOn.Contains('RestorePackages'))">
CustomTarget;
$(BuildDependsOn);
</BuildDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>
To be clear, this doesn't help with pre-built packages, but if you can build the package again yourself, you can fix it.
I ran into this same issue with Visual Studio 2012 and NuGet packages not checked into source control.
The error:
The imported project "\packages\Microsoft.Bcl.Build.1.0.7\tools\Microsoft.Bcl.Build.targets" was not found.
Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
I found a msdn writeup on the situation that gave the following workarounds for grabbing a project from source control without the NuGet packages.
Stop using package restore and check-in all package files
Explicitly run package restore before building the project
Check-in the .targets files
I decided to go with option #2, however, NuGet currently (v2.6) does not include a way to install all packges from the packages.config file from within visual studio. Some searching revealed that you need to use the NuGet Command Line to execute the following command before opening Visual Studio (reference).
c:\path\to\nuget.exe install -o packages project-folder\packages.config
