Trying to bind configuration: System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter can't be loaded
问题 I am trying to use ASP.NET Core configuration (specifically Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json) in a console application. When I call IConfigurationRoot.Bind() it throws a FileNotFound exception for the assembly System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter . To my knowledge TypeConverter is in the System.ComponentModel namespaces in the System assembly, not the fictitious System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter assembly. This appears to be a bug. Or am I missing something? I'm targeting .NET 4.5.2,
