System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes'. The system cannot find the file specified

I have an application that has been using netcoreapp1.0 for the last few months. I found your library and saw that you recently upgraded it to work with netcoreapp1.1. I changed my application and libraries to netcoreapp1.1 in my project.json and recompiled with your nuget package.

When GetClone() is called, it throws: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CloneExtensions.CloneFactory' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes'. The system cannot find the file specified.

The framework section of my app is:

"frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.1": {
      "dependencies": {
      },
      "imports": [
        "dotnet5.6",
        "portable-net451+win8"
      ]
    }
  }

Have you tested this library with those imports?

I figured it out. I was loading the old dll into my debugger, which was still on netcoreapp1.0. I am not sure how this even worked.

Everything is fine now. Thanks for a great library!

I'm glad you figured it out!
