This happens only on Release mode. I already referenced nuget Microsoft.CSharp 4.7.0.0

"C:\projects****.csproj" (default target) (1) -> (MvcBuildViews target) -> ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPCONFIG: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CSharp, Version=5.0. 0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

CZEMacLeod commented 3 years ago

The SDK includes the logic for the MvcBuildViews property and target. So you don't need the target in your project file. By default, it tries to run the compiler in release mode to precompile and views and other code.

You can override this behaviour by adding

    <MvcBuildViews>false</MvcBuildViews>

to a PropertyGroup

Again - if you want to use automatic binding redirects see Autogenerating Binding Redirects Replace

    <AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
    <GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>true</GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>

   <OverwriteAppConfigWithBindingRedirects>true</OverwriteAppConfigWithBindingRedirects>

As I don't have CrystalReports, or some of the other Nuget Packages, and references, nor the web.config file you are using, I cannot fully test your project. But using the template file's web.config and stripping out the other stuff, it compiles fine on my machine in both debug and release mode ;)

I suggest you check if there is a bad binding redirection in your web.config file, perhaps trying to redirect Microsoft.CSharp to version 5.0.0.0? You may also need to check if you have any web.config files in subfolders. You may need something like

  <Target Name="UpdateWebConfigBindingRedirects" AfterTargets="CopyFilesToOutputDirectory">
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(OutDir)$(AssemblyName).dll.config" DestinationFiles="web.config" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(OutDir)$(AssemblyName).dll.config" DestinationFiles="Views\web.config" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(OutDir)$(AssemblyName).dll.config" DestinationFiles="Areas\myrandomarea\Views\web.config" />
  </Target>

Although it will depend on your specific web.config file - any location based entries may confuse the matter.
