If this doesn’t solve your problem completely try reinstalling the NuGet package. This will hopefully correct broken dependencies. From the package management console, run this command: Update-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi -reinstall Make sure to install System.Web.Http.WebHost as well.

Why are binding redirects needed at all? Suppose you have application A that references library B, and also library C of version 1.1.2.5. Library B in turn also references library C, but of version 1.1.1.0. Now we have a conflict, because you cannot load different versions of the same assembly at runtime. To resolve this … Read more
