Found conflicts between System.Net.Http

Question

I have several projects in my VS solution. Whenever I add \"System.Net.Http\" NuGet package to one it shows as version 4.2.0.0. Then I do the same and add same NuGet Package

Answer 1

I've had this problem twice now whilst working with Azure Worker roles. Any called to system.net.http simple causes the code to hang, but there is no feedback at all from Azure so it takes hours or days of commenting out code to find the cause let alone a solution.

A simple trick fixed it for me. This isn't my solution, I came across it about 6 months ago, but when the problem happened to me again today, I thought it worth posting.

1. Delete any references to System.Net.Http from your project
2. Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions\net461\lib"
3. Create a new directory, for example "temphide"
4. Move all System.Net.* DLL's into this directory
5. Now when you deploy, your project will use the Nuget version, no more conflicts
