Question

I'm trying to add upshot goodness to an existing MVC project.

On the line 

@(Html.UpshotContext().DataSource<DataServiceController>(x => x.GetAllProducts()))

I'm getting the exception

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Http.Common, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. 
The system cannot find the file specified.

My list of installed nuget packages is

</packages>

Google gives me nothing for that exception. Any ideas?

Solution

As per the discussion on this thread: Current SPA (beta) is not compatible with MVC 4 RC

The ASP.NET team are recommending people stick with MVC4 beta + SPA Nuget package for the time being. An alternative suggested is to grab the code for the conflicted libraries and build them yourself but that's just asking for headaches and rework as the team moves forward.

OTHER TIPS

Try installing it from NuGet:
