Newtonsoft.Json error on adding a web Reference - asp.net

I am adding a Web Reference in my website. Reference is added successfully. But when i add namespace in my webpage it give me following error.
Error 22 Reference.svcmap: Could not load file or assembly
'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot
find the file specified. App_WebReferences/FaxService/
Namespace name I give to my web reference is "FaxService".
In pages.aspx.cs page I have added
using FaxService;
What I have tried.
1) Removed web reference and add it again.
2) Update web refernce
3) Uninstall newton soft from "Pakage Manager Console" and removed all the dll's of newtonsoft from my solution.
PM> UnInstall-Package Newtonsoft.Json
4) Installed newton soft again through "Pakage Manager Console".
PM> Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
5) Adding following lines in web.config
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-7.0.0.0" newVersion="7.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
This web reference is not newly added. It was working fine before.

Error says about Version=6.0.0.0, try to find where is reference to it? But your web.config uses 7.0.0.0. Try to find reference to 6.0.0.0 and delete it.
My thoughts are:
- maybe one of dependencies of it was updated and now it cannot be loaded?
- use option "DELETE ALL" before deploy, maybe something old is there in deployment directory.

Newtonsoft.json dll issue in ssis

Can anybody help to resolve this.
I have added third party reference (Json newtonsoft) dll in my script component, but when i run the package through sql server agent, I am getting an error
Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I have registered the dll in gac and same dll (even same version) is also used in uat but while executing on prod it is getting failed.
Any suggestions?
Firstly I would check that the version in the web.config matches the version of the DLL. Right click on the newstonsoft.dll and go to details tab, product version.
You should then have a corresponding assembly identity in your web.config like
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json"
publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-10.0.0.0"
newVersion="10.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
Also if you have multiple projects in your solution then right click your solution, manage nuget packages for solution and go to the consolidate tab to check that you don't have multiple versions of newtonsoft
Finally resolved the issue-
The command to register DLL was having space before the DLL name. While registering through cmd it showed registering success however the folder was not created in gac_msil location I. E. dll was not registered.

Stuck in Entity Framework due to Castle.Core

I've followed the tutorial but it seems a bit outdated (ref. https://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Articles/Introduction-With-AspNet-Core-And-Entity-Framework-Core-Part-1/index.html).
I build the program and then I do an Update-Database, but I get stuck on following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Castle.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=407dd0808d44fbdc' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
First, I checked if I used the most recent version of .NET Core and then updated to latest (dotnet-sdk-2.1.202-win-x64.exe). Afterwards, I checked NuGet and I've got the most recent versions of Castle.Core, Castle.Facilities.Logging and Castle.Windsor.
I then tried following changes in the Entity Framework project, App.config file:
I removed bindingRedirect from Castle.Core, making it:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Castle.Core" publicKeyToken="407dd0808d44fbdc" culture="neutral" />
</dependentAssembly>
In NuGet, I've updated ABP and ABP Entity Framework from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2.
Reloaded the DLLs for Castle.
When I ALSO removed the bindingRedirect from Castle.Core in the Core project, it started to work.
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Castle.Core" publicKeyToken="407dd0808d44fbdc" culture="neutral" />
</dependentAssembly>

Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'

I am getting the Error
System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly
'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The
located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly
reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
for my CI build
Solution which I tried
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
It also did not work
In package manager console execute: Update-Package –reinstall Newtonsoft.Json.
UPDATE
I originally posted this as a comment but as #OwenBlacker suggested I'll just put it here:
If you still get an error after doing this, then what worked for me eventually is that I deleted Json.Net's <dependentAssembly> section from my .config file. Reinstall brings it back if it's not there and apparently you need to delete it. Until there will be a normal solution in the package itself, I'm afraid this manual step is a must.
Note: Please read the comments below before doing this.
As per René's comment below BE AWARE that the command posted in the answer will reinstall the package in every project in your solution. So if you use the Newtonsoft.Json package in several projects and maybe use different versions, just executing the above command might have unwanted consequences.
To everyone having problems with Newtonsoft.Json v4.5 version try using this in web.config or app.config:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json"
publicKeyToken="30AD4FE6B2A6AEED" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
IMPORTANT: Check that the configuration tag of your config file has no namespace attribute (as suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/12011221/150370). Otherwise, assemblyBinding tags will be ignored.
The key point is referencing right version in your config file.
Steps;
1- look at what is the version of your Newtonsoft.Json.dll in the project reference property what ever the version in your package folder (For example mine is 7.0.1 and the reference Version is 7.0.0.0)
2- look at what the project expect from you in the exception (mine is 6.0.0.0)
3- Add dependent assembly to your config file as it should be..
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30AD4FE6B2A6AEED" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="7.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
I had no luck with any of the solutions presented here (uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting references, creating bindingRedirects etc.) I had to go back to an old version of Newtonsoft. Version 5.0.6 had been working before, so I tried that one. I had to enter these two commands in the Package Console:
uninstall-package newtonsoft.json -force
install-package newtonsoft.json -version "5.0.6"
The -force option in the first command is required to force the uninstall. Dependencies with other assemblies prevent the uninstall without it.
I fixed the problem adding this binding redirect to my .config file:
<runtime>
. . .
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="4.5.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
The error message complains about not finding version 4.5.0.0, the current version of Newtonsoft.Json is 6.0.0.0 so the redirect should go from 4.5 to 6.0, not viceversa
I think you are pointing to the wrong target, change it to 4.5 instead of 6.0
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="4.5.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
This should work.
I've spend couple of days trying to resolve this frustrating issue. I've tried pretty much everything that can be found on the web. Finally I found that this error could be caused (like in my case) by the different target .Net project versions (4.5 and 4.5.1) in one solution. The steps bellow fixed it for me:
Double check the .Net version of every project that's in your solution. Just right click on project and go to Properties.
If possible set the same .Net version for all projects. If not at least try to change the Startup project one (for me this was the one causing the issues).
Remove all Newtonsoft.Json packs from the solution.
uninstall-package newtonsoft.json -force
Update all Newtonsoft.Json versions in all packages.config files, like so
<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="7.0.1" targetFramework="net451" />
Reinstall Newtonsoft.Json from "Package Manager Console" with:
install-package newtonsoft.json
Rebuild the solution
(Optional) 7. If you changed the Startup project, return it again
uninstall-package newtonsoft.json -force
install-package newtonsoft.json
Did the trick for me :)
if you using multiple project in same solution
and library of the one other
check is all projects has same version of Newtonsoft.Json
Remove the Newtonsoft.Json assembly from the project reference and add it again. You probably deleted or replaced the dll by accident.
I was writing a WebApi REST service client, so for me this error was caused by adding References to the System.Net.Http and System.Net.Http.Formatting assemblies manually via Add Reference, when I should have added the Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client package via NuGet.
See also this answer to another question.
You have 2 different versions of JSON.NET library in your solution. To solve this you should upgrade them to latest version. Follow these steps:
1-Open solution explorer
2-Right Click on solution name
3-Select Manage Nuget Packages for Solution
4-Select Updates from menu
5-Update JSON.NET package
This will resolve your issue.

Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies
Deploy the correct version to the CI machine
This is telling you that the assembly loader found a different version of the Newtonsoft.Json assembly, that does not match the reference you created in your project. To load the assembly correctly, you must either deploy the assembly side by side with your compiled code, or install the correct version of the assembly in the destination machine (i.e. in the GAC).
Alternative: make sure the configuration is in the correct file
If you want to keep the current solution, and load an assembly with a different version, make sure that the configuration you posted is in the correct .config file. Remember that there is no xpto.dll.config, a DLL loaded by an application always uses the config file of the running application.
Normally adding the binding redirect should solve this problem, but it was not working for me. After a few hours of banging my head against the wall, I realized that there was an xmlns attribute causing problems in my web.config. After removing the xmlns attribute from the configuration node in Web.config, the binding redirects worked as expected.

Works for me.... just put the version you are using in newVersion i.e(newVersion="7.0.0.0")
I was getting same error and by adding below code error resolved on production.
Answer is too late but might help someone.
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-12.0.0.0" newVersion="12.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
Close solution.
Open packages.config and *.csproj with text editor and delete any line have Newtonsoft.Json
Ex:
<Reference Include="Newtonsoft.Json,Version=9.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\packages\Newtonsoft.Json.9.0.1\lib\net40\Newtonsoft.Json.dll</HintPath>
<Private>True</Private>
</Reference>
Or
<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="9.0.1" targetFramework="net40" />
Open solution again and re-install Newtonsoft.Json by Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
It work for me.
We had the exact same issue that you mentioned. We're using nunit to run tests through CI, and we have nunit running a file called tests.nunit, which describe a list of test dll fixtures to run.
Each test fixture had their own config file, but when run through the "tests.nunit" file the binding redirects seem to be ignored. The solution was to add the binding redirects to a new config file, "tests.config" that was beside the "tests.nunit" file.
I have got the same type of problem. And I also solved it just doing the following:
Go to TOOLS > NuGet Package Manager and Select Package Manager Console. Finally, execute the following two commands :)
uninstall-package newtonsoft.json -force
install-package newtonsoft.json
You should update the web.config file in the server.
When nuget install NewtonSoft update this file including this code
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
Just check the version of Newtonsoft.Json Newtonsoft properties
Then you need to add that version in your web config (in my case 8.0.0.0)
Web config
I made the mistake of adding a NewtonSoft .dll file for .Net 4.5.
My main project was 4.5, but when I added an extra project to my solution, it strangely added it as a .Net 2.0 project... and when I attempted to use NewtonSoft's 4.5 dll with this, I got this "Newtonsoft.Json couldn't be found" error.
The solution (of course) was to change this new project from .Net 2.0 to 4.5.
I was facing the same error and struggled with it for hours. I had a web API project which is using Newtonsoft.json and another UnitTest project for the web API project. The unit test project also needed the Newtonsoft.json reference. But on adding the link I was getting the above exception.
I finally resolved it by adding the below code snippet in the app.config of the unit test project:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30AD4FE6B2A6AEED" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
In my case, the main project was still referencing an old version of Newtonsoft.Json which didn't exists in the project any more (shown by a yellow exclamation mark). Removing the reference solved the problem, no bindingRedirect was necessary.
I had the exact same problem with version 7.0.0.0, and the lib causing my problem was Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime which somehow was referring to the wrong version (6.0.0.0) of Newtonsoft.json, despite the right dependency management in nugget (the right version of newtonsoft.json (7.0.0.0) was installed).
I solved this by applying the redirection above from 6.0.0.0 to 7.0.0.0 (from Kadir Can) in the config file:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="7.0.0.0" />
----> After a few days without changing anything it came up again with the same error. I installed version 6.0.0.0 n updated it to 7.0.0.0 it works fine now.
Reinstall newtonsoft package through nuget did not worked for me.
I had to manually call JsonConvert.DeserializeObject to bypass this issue
I changed
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url));
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
MyObject data = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<MyObject>();
For
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url));
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string jsonStr = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
MyObject data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyObject>(jsonStr);
In my case, after downloading the assembly and adding the reference to the project, I solved this by 'unblocking' the DLL before adding the reference to the project.
Using Windows explorer, browse to the DLL location, right-click on the DLL and then select 'properties'. You'll find an 'unblock' button on one of the tabs and then you can add the reference and the assembly will load correctly.
Nothing from above helped me, but what actually fixed it is the following:
Remove all dependency bindings in app.config (from all app.config files in the solution)
Execute the following command from "Package Manager Console"
Get-Project -All | Add-BindingRedirect
Rebuild
Reference:
http://blog.myget.org/post/2014/11/27/Could-not-load-file-or-assembly-NuGet-Assembly-Redirects.aspx
Right click your project select manage Nuget packages, type newtonsoft in the search box and install the latest version. Then Run your App
Another insidious problem is that it appears that binding redirects can just silently fail if the element has an incorrect configuration on any other dependentAssembly elements.
Ensure that you only have one element under each element.
In some instances, VS generates this:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity ...
<assemblyIdentity ...
</dependentAssembly>
Instead of
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity ...
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity ...
</dependentAssembly>
Took me a long time to realise this was the problem!

Could Not load NewtonSoft.JSON after deploying MVC app to Azure

I've deployed a MVC 4.5 web site here
However, when I view the site in browser after deployment, I have to turn custom errors off to see the following error:
Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly
'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or
one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I ensured that CopyLocal is set to True for the DLL in my References folder. What other changes need to be made for a successful deployment?
I was having this same issue today and I'm not completely sure what I did to fix it. So I'll try giving a detailed walk through of my process.
I tried deploying a default app out of VS13 and it was too bombing with this message. FAIL.
I then removed the Newtonsoft.Json assembly and manually added the 5.0.6 version I needed. I also made sure CopyToLocal was set to true. FAIL. My sadness grows.
I enabled NuGet Package Restore. FAIL. My sadness turns to anger.
I deleted my Azure site in a fit of rage, recreated it, and the republished out again. SUCCESS!!!
So, the only logical(ish) answer I think I can give is to delete your Azure website, recreate it, and then publish again.
I hope this helps someone.
I fixed this problem by redirecting the assembly version from 0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0 to 6.0.0.0
by adding a depententAssembly in Web.config:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<!-- Add these 4 lines to Web.config, under runtime/assemblyBinding -->
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<!-- End of copy -->
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
<configuration>
You will find other dependentAssemblies there too, like System.Web.Mvc, WebGrease.
The newest version of Newtonsoft.Json is now 6.0.3. You may have to increase 6.0.0.0 later. Find the current newest version by looking at the version in the Solution Explorer. References -> Newton.Json -> (right click -> Properties) -> Version in the Property view
If you're sure CopyLocal is true, then the only other possibility is that you have project reference to a different assembly version than what's listed in your packages.config. Make sure the DLL version matches the version in the packages.config.

Add reference to .dll asp.net

I have a simple question about adding references to a .NET project. I'm adding reCAPTCHA to a website and i have downloaded the dll.
After setting the reference to the dll i build and run the project and gets this error:
[ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.]
System.Reflection.Module._GetTypesInternal(StackCrawlMark& stackMark) +0
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes() +96
StarSuite.Core.Settings.GetSingletonInstancesOfBaseType(Type baseType, String staticMethodName, Type returnType) +149
[ApplicationException: Unable to load types from 'Recaptcha, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9afc4d65b28c38c2'.

The system cannot find the file specified.]
]
What am i missing, why do i get this error?
Sorry if the question is silly...Is it your web project MVC? It seems that If you're using web form based project you shouldn't use that component since it relies on mvc assemblies (maybe there is a web form version?).
File Not Found:
This is you reason - its in the output:
FileNotFoundException
Double check where your reference is pointing to
Have you added the DLL under references in your project so it will be included in the build?
For people finding this whilst searching for a fix for Umbraco, the fix can be found here:
http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/19383-referencing-catcha-dll-breaks-xslt
The same fix can be applied to websites that are not running Umbraco.
Summary to save you having to read the whole forum post, add this to your web config:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
