Answer 1

The answer here helped me. I found the AntiXssLibrary.dll on my site's bin folder.

Answer 2

Right mouse on your website -> Convert to webapplication. See: How To Convert ASP.NET Website to ASP.NET Web Application

Answer 3

Uninstall and re-install AntiXSS:

Tools --> NuGet Package Manager --> Package Manager Console (UI may differ if using other than Visual Studio 2013):

Uninstall-Package AntiXSS
Install-Package AntiXSS

For multi-project solutions, be sure to set the default project to whichever one is experiencing the problem. Use Uninstall-Package -Force AntiXSS if uninstall fails and if you can handle any package dependency problems that may arise, though I know of none for this package.

Answer 4

If, like me, you're using AntiXSSLibrary in a class library via Nuget, and got the above error:

1. Remove all external references that you had through Nuget
2. Remove the Nuget package file - which is packages.config found in the solution's root directory
3. Remove the packages directory - again in your solution's root directory
4. Reinstall all your components again

Answer 5

You are using using Microsoft.Security.Application;

Try this using System.Web.Security.Application;

For me, it was the other way round. I think it is due to different versions of my AntiXSSScripting dll I'm using.

Answer 6

If you get this nuget all extention objects are visibles

Install-Package AntiXSS

it solves my problem.
