SignalR & WebApi - colliding Newtonsoft.Json references

Question

I have a windows client that connects to a SignalR 2.0 back-end, now I am trying to make it connect to a ASP.NET Web API 2.1 back-end as well.

The library that I use

Answer 1

Web API & SignalR were built with reference to 4.5 assembly version of Json.net..if you would like to use 6.0 version of Json.net, you would need to add an assembly binding redirect in your configuration file.
