I am developing a class library based on the NetStandard 2.0 framework for multiple platform compatibility sakes, and I need to serialize and deserialize objects. So I added a reference to the Newtonsoft library.
The problem is that I have the following exception at runtime:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.ComponentModel.Annotations, Version=4.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'
I tried to manually add a reference to the System.ComponentModel.Annotations version 4.2.0.0 but this version is not available.
Is there a way to use Newtonsoft with NetStandard 2.0, or an alternative to perform serialization/deserialization operations?
Update: it seems that adding a reference to System.ComponentModel.Annotations" Version="4.4.1" and rebuilding the solution fixed the problem.
Here is the content of my csproj file:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="10.0.3" />
<PackageReference Include="System.ComponentModel.Annotations" Version="4.4.1" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
