JsonResult has moved to the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core assembly

JsonResult has moved to the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core assembly. This type used to be defined in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Json. While we have added [TypeForward(...)] that will address this issue for the majority of users, applications that use 3rd party libraries may encounter issues.

Libraries that were compiled against the 2.2 version of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Json may need to recompile in order to address the problem for all user.

Version introduced

3.0-preview 6

Old behavior

Application using a 2.2-based library could be built.

New behavior

Application fails compilation with an error like:

The type 'JsonResult' exists in both 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' and 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Json, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'

Reason for change

This is part of platform-level changes to the composition of ASP.NET Core as described here: https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/325

Recommended action

Contact the library author and ask them to recompile the library targeting ASP.NET Core 3.0.
