* Introduction to the Issue
I am using a software that uses the .Net framework to perform some tasks.
We are trying to use the Mailkit.dll file but when using it we are faced with the message:
Internal : Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Memory, Version=4.0.1.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
and from what I have concluded so far the Mailkit.dll depends on Mimekit.dll that depends on System.memory.dll, something like that.
Mailkit.dll > Mimekit.dll > System.Memory.dll
Version details:
.Net framework installed on machine: 4.7.3190
.Net framework used by application: 4.7
Mailkit.dll version: 3.4.1
Mimekit.dll Version: 3.4.1
System.Memory.dll in application folder Version:4.6.28619.01
I don't Know what's the issue or why this is happening but I am pretty sure it has to do with version issue so any help is welcomed.
The version numbers you provided are a good starting point.
For .NETFramework 4.7, MailKit v3.4.1 depends on MimeKit v3.4.1 which depends on System.Memory >= v4.5.5.
System.Memory with NuGet version v4.5.5 has an AssemblyFileVersion of 4.6.31308.01 (the number that shows in windows explorer) but an AssemblyVersion of 4.0.1.2. The assembly number is what really matters when the CLR looks for assemblies. The CLR looks for v4.0.1.2 when loading MimeKit but can only find v4.0.1.1.
The version that ends up in your output is older than the version required. I found that the version that is actually in your output is from System.Memory v4.5.4. AssemblyFileVersion: 4.6.28619.01. AssemblyVersion: 4.0.1.1.
This is probably happening if you are referencing System.Memory nuget package directly. If you do have a direct package reference to System.Memory, then you need to upgrade it.
If you were using SDK styled projects, you would get an error preventing this from happening. But you should still be getting a build warning about version conflicts detected.

I have a console program that has two direct dependencies: ClosedXML v0.97 and ClosedXML.Report 0.2.4. The ClosedXML.Report dependency also depends on ClosedXML, but in a version 0.95.
When I try to compile the program in NET6 (basically only a reference to a class in the ClosedXml.Report),
_ = new XLTemplate(new System.IO.MemoryStream());
I get a compiler error
CS0012 The type 'IXLWorkbook' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'ClosedXML, Version=0.95.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
Why doesn't csc.exe recognize the 0.97 version to use and requests 0.95 (the indirect dependency)? The assembly version of package is same as the nuget version.
Nuget uses direct-dependency-wins mechanism and I though .net core also uses that for assemlby resolution. Is a mechanism different? How does roslyn resolve which version to use and when to throw an error?
Relevant piece of MSBuild
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Roslyn\csc.exe
/reference:C:\Users\username\.nuget\packages\closedxml\0.97.0\lib\netstandard2.0\ClosedXML.dll
/reference:C:\Users\username\.nuget\packages\closedxml.report\0.2.4\lib\netstandard2.0\ClosedXML.Report.dll
One possible explanation for this behavior would be if IXLWorkbook, which is apparently required by the call to new XLTemplate() no longer exists in Version 0.97 of ClosedXML.
If possible, try to rebuild ClosedXML.Report with ClosedXML 0.97. Since these apparently are early versions (Version < 1.0) breaking changes between versions seem possible. Also, can you make sure that the output bin directory actually contains Version 0.97?
I have converted .NET Framework 3.5 TestAPP to .NET 6 TestAPP and worked well.
i have an Automation project(C++ project) which was using .NET Framework 3.5 TestAPP.dll to run the tests, but right now i have replaced the .NET Framework 3.5
.dll with .NET 6 TestAPP i.e. TestAPP.dll
when i ran the exe in command line , i have got an error as
"Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file
or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The
located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly
reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"
Please let me know if anything needs to be corrected.
Resolved the error by changing the C++/CLI properties from visual studio project properties , which was referring to .NET framework earlier and i have changed the property as .NET core runtime(clr:netcore) and it is internally handled all GAC changes and worked well.
Hope it might help someone .
When upgrading an app to a later .NET version, edit your csproj file and make sure there is no <RuntimeFrameworkVersion> node in there that someone may have inserted manually.
This will not be updated automatically when switching .NET versions
The running project returned this error. When I changed it to the way in the image, the error was solved.
Project>Properties
In my case the error was due to worng Default Project in Package Manager Console, if you are running EF migrations or something that is in a project that need to get info from the API make sure you are targetting the right project, also try clean + build first.
I was working on a project to Self host a Web API project.
There are two packages 1) Microsoft.AspNet.WebAPi.SelfHost
2) Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi. I had run into a problem where two different versions of NewtonSoft.Json had been installed by the above packages and it showed a compile-time warning as well as a run time exception. If I install Microsoft.AspNet.WebAPi.SelfHost before Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi then Newtonsoft.Json version 6.0.0.0. is installed by the former and the version 11.0.0.0 by the later which gives the error. but if I install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi, then version 11.0.0.0 is installed and Microsoft.AspNet.WebAPi.SelfHost doesn't install Newtonsoft.Json but I still get the following error
"Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its >dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition >does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from >HRESULT: 0x80131040)/nSystem.IO.FileLoadException"
although the following is the entry in my web.config reference
"culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed"
bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-11.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0" />"
I am really not getting why it is referring to version 6.0.0.0 when a newer version is installed. And if I need both the versions how do I refer to each without causing compiler issues.
Edit: Another thing to mention here is that it errors only after publishing the file but if I run it in release mode, no issue is occurring.
I have tried this after creating a new folder from scratch.
Edit: I have also tried checking the GAC. Newtonsoft.JSON is not available in the GAC. Can anyone tell how to check the manifest/config file of a third-party package like the Microsoft.AspNet.WebAPi.SelfHost
Edit: I also checked the solutions from the linked thread, but it didn't help.
Edit: I just now edited Microsoft.Owin from version 2.0.2 to version 4, but strangely after publishing and running it is still referring to version 2. I checked web.config and package.config, they have correct assembly redirects as well as correct package. So i guess there is some other place where it is not getting updated. Anyone can help me on this?
On some machines, executing a razor template via RazorTemplates works OK.
On others, I receive the following message:
TemplateCompilationException
error CS0012: The type 'System.Attribute' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
Info:
This is within a WPF application running on .NET 4.7.
The assembly has a reference to System.Runtime.4.3.0\lib\net462\System.Runtime.dll (v4.1.1.0)
However at runtime, this assembly does not show up in the 'Modules' list.
It seems the Attribute object exists in both System.Runtime and mscorlib.
Looks like this is an underlying issue somewhere between win10 and the RazorTemplates library.
In the end i switched from RazorTemplates to RazorEngine: https://github.com/Antaris/RazorEngine
And there is a page here that explains how to fix the problem via a Resolver:

System.Runtime is part of the .Net Framework and is installed in the GAC during framework installation.
This could happen for two possible reasons:
It's not on the machine.
It's the wrong version.
For the machines this fails on check what version of the .Net runtime they have and/or inspect the GAC for this file and version.
Missing the framework, install it. :-)
If machines have a version but it's not the expected version do either:
Install the correct framework version
Use a binding redirect in your config file
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Premium and trying to "Add Fakes Assembly" to a test project. The initial build gives me this error:
error : Could not resolve assembly 'System.Runtime.Serialization,
Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e,
Retargetable=Yes'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
The test project and the project it's targeting are both using .net 4.0. My target project does indeed use System.Runtime.Serialization, but the 4.0 version (naturally).
Why am I getting this error and how can I resolve this issue?
This is one of those slightly odd semi-ephemeral quasi-bugs that pop up from time to time. I encountered it this week through FxCop and was unable to find any resolution to it (although I didn't install Silverlight as I couldn't risk bringing down our build server).
People say that it might be to do with binding redirection for Silverlight, others have said it has something to do with portable class libraries.
Your mileage may vary; but there other people with the same problem and it seems there is no definitive cause or solution at the moment.
FxCop analysis not finding indirectly-referenced assemblies - GAC issue?
FxCop indirect reference to System.Core version 2.0.5.0
