Type 'Object' is defined in an assembly th

问题:

I'm using the .NET Standard 2.0 preview, on which my Class Libraries are based.

After having trouble with a few NuGet packages, especially regarding archive extraction, I decided to migrate my .NET Core 2.0 Console projects back to the .NET Framework 4.6.1.

The .NET Framework 4.6.1 is supposed to implement the .NET Standard 2.0 specification - according to different sources. Especially the dotnet/standard GitHub Repo.

Unfortunately, the migration to the .NET Framework resulted in the following errrors throughout all of .NET Framework Console projects:

Error CS0012 The type 'Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'.

Where Object can be anything: Enum, Task, ...

How would I reference .NET Standard 2.0 class libraries with .NET Framework (4.6.1) without getting such errors?

回答1:

I had this problem even after using the latest 2.0, and VS 15.3. However, I think my problem was different. After upgrading from Core 1.1, to 2.0, for some reason, my .web's .csproj had <RuntimeFrameworkVersion>1.1.2</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>. Which prevented the project from targeting the correct 2.0 version.

My class libraries (.Layer) projects had <NetStandardImplicitPackageVersion>1.6.1</NetStandardImplicitPackageVersion>.

I deleted both of them and my project finally started using 2.0 and everything went fine after.

After installing NET Core 2.0 preview 2 and updating to the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 Preview (15.3), the references are now automatically installed.

According to this GitHub issue, dealing with a similar problem, you have to manually add a reference to the NETStandard.Library.NETFramework package within your .NET Framework project for now*.

Either install it via NuGet Console:

Install-Package NETStandard.Library.NETFramework -Version 2.0.0-preview1-25305-02 -Pre

A few days ago, the NET Core/Standard 2.0 preview 2 was released, if you updated, the following version is needed:

Install-Package NETStandard.Library.NETFramework -Version 2.0.0-preview2-25405-01 -Pre

or via the NuGet store (check Show Pre-release versions) and search for NETStandard.Library.NETFramework

This will then resolve the references, the errors should vanish.

*Joperezr states that Microsoft is planning to let a tool handle this later.

For now you have to manually add a reference to this package which can be annoying, but in the future we are planning on the tooling doing this for you.

Try to add a reference to netstandard in web.config as below:

<system.web> 
   <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7.1" > 
      <assemblies> 
         <add assembly="netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51"/> 
      </assemblies> 
    </compilation> 
</system.web>

Just in case some persons still having this issue like me

update your visual studio 2017 version to >15.3 (check version in help->about from the top menu), i had version 15.2 and seeing this error, i did everything i found over here or github but didnt fixed my issue. Then updated visual studio version and it fixed.

If you are using MSBuild for CI like Jenkins, then update the build tools (you can download it again from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017) and make sure ".NET Core build tools" is checked.

I had this issue in my test project when using TestServer to test my MVC views.

The test project, web project and associated libraries were all netcoreapp2.0.

Upgrading vs2017 to 15.5 did not work, and editing my test .csproj with the following suggested fixes did not work:

<RestoreProjectStyle>PackageReference</RestoreProjectStyle>

<ItemGroup><Reference Include="netstandard" /></ItemGroup>

<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects> <GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>true</GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>

As per https://github.com/aspnet/Razor/issues/1212#issuecomment-297885722 however, this worked:

  <Target Name="CopyDepsFiles" AfterTargets="Build" Condition="'$(TargetFramework)'!=''">
    <ItemGroup>
      <DepsFilePaths Include="$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension('%(_ResolvedProjectReferencePaths.FullPath)', '.deps.json'))" />
    </ItemGroup>    
    <Copy SourceFiles="%(DepsFilePaths.FullPath)" DestinationFolder="$(OutputPath)" Condition="Exists('%(DepsFilePaths.FullPath)')" />
  </Target>

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 with a C# UWP app. I had this error and a lot of my classes gave this error in my project. I fixed it by right-clicking on the References folder of your project in Solution Explorer and clicking "Add reference". Then I chose the "Browse" button at the bottom of the popup.

It takes you to File Explorer, and you will find the right file here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions\net461\lib\netstandard.dll or from the .NET Core 2.0 SDK you can find it C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.0.0\Microsoft\Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions\net461\lib\netstandard.dll

Once I added it, all my errors went away.

I had this exception myself when physically moving a project into a sub folder, causing the NuGet package references (path hints) being broken. After fixing them in the csproj file, everything was back to normal again.
