Stackexchange.redis: Dependancy conflicts in Microsoft packages between redis and redis.strongname

[Herostwist]

I have an asp net core app with a few Microsoft packages.

Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.StackExchangeRedis depends on StackExchange.Redis
Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis depends on StackExchange.Redis.StrongName

Whenever I try and reference anything in the StackExchange.Redis namespace it causes a CS0433 error.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is part of the pain of removing StrongName and removing the pain long-term. The only fix available here is to wait for .NET Core 3.0. It will use the 2.x StackExchange.Redis (which is strong named).

If your case, Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.StackExchangeRedis has already upgraded but the other lib has not. It's going in-framework and getting that upgrade in 3.0. We should be about 2 months away from the 3.0 release (.NET Conf in late September). Since this lib has a 2.0 minimum though (as far back as NuGet goes), I don't have a workaround which would normally consist of using an older version for 1 of the 2 libraries.

Oh dear, looks like my only real option is to clone Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis and update it myself. I have been using StackExchange.Redis for many years, good to know it's going in-framework for 3.0.

For anyone else with this problem, Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis has now been replaced by Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis, solving the conflict.

Closing out to cleanup, thanks for the update @Herostwist!
