Unable to use Nuget Package due to bindingRedirect in Newtonsoft.Json Dependancy

[stephenwelsh]

I'm attempting to create a MSBuild Task that publishes release notes to a new Zendesk Topic. However I discovered that the 'bindingRedirect' added to the 'App.Config' by the latest version of Newtonsoft.Json (6.0.3) does not apply with MSBuild.

<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>

The normal work-arounds are not ideal i.e. update the machine.config, however I've managed to fix the issue by specifying version='4.5.11' in my projects 'packages.config' instead of the default latest version (6.0.3).
I noticed that the Zendesk_v2_net35 package file also specifies '4.5.11', so I'm requesting that the .nuspec file(s) are updated with the matching 4.5.11 version dependancy. So anyone in the future that has a restriction on 'bindingRedirect' does not have the same problem.

https://github.com/eneifert/ZendeskApi_v2/blob/master/ZendeskApi_v2.2.5.6.nuspec#L15

i.e. make the following change:

<group targetFramework=".NETFramework3.5">
  <dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="4.5.11" />
</group>

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for letting me know about the issue and how you worked around it. Unfortunately I don't want to force people to use an old version of Newtonsoft.Json in order to use this project. I think the ideal solution would be to post this in the Newtonsoft.Json project here.

Best of luck,
Eric
