I just installed AutoMapper, via nuGet, on a new project, but when I run the code, I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'AutoMapper, Version=2.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be96cd2c38ef1005' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Why is it looking for Version=2.2.1.0, and what can I do about it? Revert to that version?
You probably just want to add a binding redirect for AutoMapper as one of your references is looking for version 2.2 specifically
This should do it:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="AutoMapper" publicKeyToken="be96cd2c38ef1005"
culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
Try uninstalling and reinstalling AutoMapper again.
If you have multiple projects in your solution chances are that you have version 2.2.1.0 already installed in one of your projects. But latest version of AutoMapper is 3.0.0 so this is why you got problems.
Problem:
Could not load file or assembly 'AutoMapper, Version=3.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be96cd2c38ef1005' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Solution:
Add assemblyBinding to yur app.config files:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="AutoMapper" publicKeyToken="be96cd2c38ef1005" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-3.2.1.0" newVersion="3.3.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
