When I install the NuGet package for WebApi, it gives me version 1.0.0.0 of System.Net.Http, yet it references version 2.
I cannot seem to find version 2 for the life of me. When I download .net 4.5 I get System.Net.Http version 4.0.315.x, but I cannot use that because the Web Api assemblies refer to version 2.0.0.0.
Anyone know where I can find this version 2.0.0.0? I've tried the NuGet package manager, mvc4, .net 4.5, and nothing is giving me version 2.
Thanks in advance.
Add the below configuration inside your Web.config file under <system.web>
node (assuming your app runs on .NET 4.5, targetFramework
attribute is set to 4.5):
<compilation targetFramework="4.5">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Net.Http, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
Also add the below one at the root level under <configuration>
node:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Net.Http" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
This should solve your problem.
