C# error that Type is not referenced, but it is

votes

In my project (TestProject) I reference a DLL from another project. That project uses EntityFramework.Auditing. I have a reference in TestProject to EntityFramework.Auditing and it's properties says version 1.0.0.0 but get this error:

The type 'EntityFramework.Auditing.AuditDbContext' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'EntityFramework.Auditing, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

UPDATE:
Looked a little closer, and I'm seeing this warning:

Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly that could not be resolved. These reference conflicts are listed in the build log when log verbosity is set to detailed.

I've set the output and logging to detailed, and I'm looking through it now. Not sure what I'm looking for tho.

I see this in the output:

There was a conflict between "EntityFramework.Auditing, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5fc4097df435221" and "EntityFramework.Auditing, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null".
"EntityFramework.Auditing, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5fc4097df435221" was chosen because it was primary and "EntityFramework.Auditing, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" was not.

You have to add that EF assembly to the test project, don't forget the connection string in other project app.config for EF... – JWP
you might be referencing a local copy rather than the one in the GAC or something. try removing and re-adding the reference. make sure to go through the .NET list rather than browsing for a .dll file. check to see if there is more than one of them in the list as well, and make sure to try them separately if there is. note that if you have resharper, it will usually do this for you automatically with a quickfix. – Dave Cousineau
I've added the assembly to both projects, and added the connection string. Still no good. I've removed the reference and re-added, still no good. Not sure how to fix it with resharper, but I do have resharper. I added this with NuGet. – M Kenyon II
You might need to explore app.config bindingRedirects. It sounds like something has a reference to an older or a newer version of this library and that's getting loaded first – Matthew Steeples

This was a stupid user mistake.

The EntityFramework.Auditing.AuditDbContext assembly is a NuGet package, but it can also be downloaded as source code. I'm using assemblies from another solution, and failed to remember that we had the source code as a project in that solution.

I needed to point to the assembly we built in our other solution so that the Models assembly I was using would understand the Auditing assembly.
