My first question here because I'm usually pretty nifty with searching for my own answers, I've been on this for a few hours now and I'm stumped - thanks in advance!

After following many directions across SO and other sources for things like

  • clean, rebuild
  • de-reference, clean, re-reference, clean, rebuild

The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference

HRESULT: 0x80131040: The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference

My project is still crashing on debug with exception:

Could not load file or assembly 'Blah.Blah.Common, Version=1.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2814cfce0563e70d' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Exception occurs on the first call to retrieve an entity:

Dim so As SomeObject = db.SomeObject.First

Recently, I have had to rebuild the DLL with the signing removed and also incremented the build version to 1.2.0.0, so it makes no sense why that version would be called.

I've dug through the solution many times trying to find the mis-matched referencing without success.

Looking into the Fusion logs on error using the below instruction link, I found the calling assembly to be Entity Framework as below:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/junfeng/2004/02/14/fusion-binding-log-and-fuslogvw-exe/

How is EntityFramework tied to the old reference of my DLL?

EDIT: Added AsmSpy output below, all references appear to be in order as the errored ones have binding re-directs in the app.config.

  • _"How is EntityFramework tied to the old reference of my DLL"_ - Cleaning a project doesn't always remove old references. Have you tried deleting all the `\bin` directiories? – stuartd Jun 06 '18 at 13:04
  • What is your project structure like? Is Blah.Blah.Common referenced as a 'Project' or direct 'dll'? Have you tried deleting all `**\bin\ ` + `**\obj\ ` folders? My assumption would be that the project that declares the `DbContext` + Entities, is referencing the old assembly. – Michal Ciechan Jun 06 '18 at 13:38
  • Also try run https://github.com/mikehadlow/AsmSpy against your bin output, to see all mis-matched references – Michal Ciechan Jun 06 '18 at 13:40
  • I've tried removing \bin & \obj directories, even to the point of trashing the whole solution and starting over from a known working backup. Common is referenced as a project to the console application. Common holds the ApplicationDbContext and entities, Console is basically a timer loop to call a method in Common at an interval and Common does the work - accessing the DB and executing business logic – Jai Eldridge Jun 07 '18 at 02:29

I ended up re-building the entire Common DLL project from scratch (as "Shared"), copying over the files, adding all the files back into the project via "Add Existing Item", installing the up-to-date versions of all nuGet packages to "Shared", de-referencing "Common" and referencing "Shared" in the console application, cleaning up the solution including removing ./bin and ./obj directories, re-compiling and testing - all ok with no compile or run-time errors.

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the bad referencing is for the Entity Framework to be looking for the wrong version of Blah.Blah.Common, but a clean slate appears to have resolved it.
