Vnext UserManager exist in both libraries (ambiguous reference)

Question

I'm moving at vnext from mvc 5. I've faced some difficulties while adding controller for external authentication.

The type 'IdentityResult' exists in both 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' and 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

Versions of packages:

"Microsoft.AspNet.Identity": "3.0.0-beta5",
"MongoDB.AspNet.Identity;": "1.0.5" (and Microsoft.Asp.Net.Identity.Core as dependency)

I found that Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core is a dependency of AspNet.Identity.MongoDB package. I want to use MongoDb but I have ambiguous reference.

I have some ideas for a solution:

1. aliasing (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173212(v=vs.140).aspx)
2. deleting Identity.Core dependency from Identity.MongoDB package.

Сan somebody propose a different way for resolving this conflict?

Answer 1

If you were feeling ambitious, you could re-compile the MongoDB library with the updated dependency and send a PR to the project.. If that's too much effort, aliasing seems like the right way to go.
