I have a workflow project in my solution that referenced Microsoft.Activies.Extensions.dll 2.0.2.16
I used the NuGet Package Manager to upgrade to the current version 2.0.6.9
Deploying the web role that references the workflow project .dll to the cloud I get:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Activities.Extensions, PublicKeyToken=23b0c89d0d5ad43f' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I remote desktoped to the VM and checked the F:/approot/bin
to see that neither version of the assembly was deployed.
Since this a NuGet package I can find it in my <Solution root>/Packages folder
. I see the new folder created by NuGet but also the old version folder that was left behind although the assembly was not inside. I deleted that folder and put an assembly redirect in my web.config:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Activities.Extensions" publicKeyToken="23b0c89d0d5ad43f" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="2.0.2.12" newVersion="2.0.6.9" />
</dependentAssembly>
Clead, build, re-deploy via Publish.
The error persists, and digging into the approot/bin again shows that the assembly was still not deployed.
I, of course, have Copy Local set to true.
Why is it not getting deployed?
