Entity Framework Core Migrations – Assembly Version Mismatch

If you have switched your .NET Core project from xproj to csproj (MSBuild) and updated the nuget packages then you may run into an issue when executing some of the dotnet ef-commands.

In diesem Artikel:

Entity Framework Core Migrations – Assembly Version Mismatch
Pawel Gerr ist Architekt und Consultant bei Thinktecture. Er hat sich auf .NET Core Backends spezialisiert und kennt Entity Framework von vorne bis hinten.
I got the following error after executing dotnet ef migrations list:
				
					Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

				
			

The problem is that some of my (3rd party) dependencies are using version 1.1.0 and the others version 1.1.1. In a classic .NET 4.6 project we use assembly redirects to solve this kind of problems and the in .NET Core we do the same …

Just create an app.config file with the following content:

				
					<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>
    <runtime>
        <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
            <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="adb9793829ddae60" />
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.1.1.0" newVersion="1.1.1.0" />"
            </dependentAssembly>
            <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="adb9793829ddae60" />
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.1.1.0" newVersion="1.1.1.0" />"
            </dependentAssembly>
            <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="adb9793829ddae60" />
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.1.1.0" newVersion="1.1.1.0" />"
            </dependentAssembly>
        </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>
</configuration>
				
			

If you still getting errors than make sure you have the following items in your csproj-file

				
					<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools" Version="1.1.0">
        <PrivateAssets>All</PrivateAssets>
    </PackageReference>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet" Version="1.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Integrating AI Power into Your .NET Applications with the Semantic Kernel Toolkit – an Early View

With the rise of powerful AI models and services, questions come up on how to integrate those into our applications and make reasonable use of them. While other languages like Python already have popular and feature-rich libraries like LangChain, we are missing these in .NET and C#. But there is a new kid on the block that might change this situation. Welcome Semantic Kernel by Microsoft!

.NET 7 Performance: Introduction and Runtime Optimizations – Part 1

.NET 7 is fast. Superfast. All the teams at Microsoft working on .NET are keen to improve the performance and do so every year with each new .NET release. Though this time the achievements are really impressive. In this series of short articles, we want to explore some of the most significant performance updates in .NET and look at how that may affect our own projects. This first article is taking a deep look under the hood of the compiler and the runtime to look for some remarkably interesting and significant updates.

In the previous article the Source Generator itself needed a 3rd-party library Newtonsoft.Json in order to generate new source code. The JSON-strings were hard-coded inside the Source Generator for simplicity reasons. In this article we will see how to process not just .NET code, but also other files, like JSON or XML.
