Could not load file or assembly AngleSharp 0.17.0 - .NET 4.8 Issue

[ikinetik]

Hi everyone,

I know this has come up several times, so I apologize in advance. I tried installing HtmlSanitizer 9.0.884 which obviously has a dependency on AngleSharp 0.17.1, but AngleSharp.Css is looking for AngleSharp 0.17.0 and hence this error occurs. After multiple attempts, I cannot get this to resolve. I am running .Net 4.8 (old, I know) but this is a project I was just assigned on.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind downgrading the version of HtmlSanitizer if I need to or using a beta version if it's gonna work.

Thank you in advance! Please let me know if you need any additional information :)

I have tried to update my web.config file as follows hoping the binding redirect would work:
<dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="AngleSharp" publicKeyToken="e83494dcdc6d31ea" culture="neutral" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-0.17.1.0" newVersion="0.17.1.0" /> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="AngleSharp.Css" publicKeyToken="e83494dcdc6d31ea" culture="neutral" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-0.17.0.0" newVersion="0.17.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly>

Here is the FusionLog:

It works for me with this binding redirect:

<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="AngleSharp" publicKeyToken="e83494dcdc6d31ea" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-0.17.1.0" newVersion="0.17.1.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>

Thank you to both of you, I will try and let you know what happens

@mganss is there a reason why it has a hard dependency on 0.17.1? Not >= 0.17.1? We find that we can't update AngleSharp because of this rigid dependency.

AngleSharp.Css has a minimum dependency on AngleSharp 1.0.0. HtmlSanitizer requires a lower version.
