Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery was not found

Question

I\'m deploying a asp.net core 2.0 website to IIS 10.

I\'ve made sure that my app is using the correct configuration for ISS in the program.settings file.

Answer 1

I had this issue - simple workaround, actually install the NuGet package (I wasn't using it).

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery

Published, deployed - fixed the issue.

In another case, when I published the project, a lot of the dlls weren't being placed in the publish folder - including Antiforgery. The below appears to force publishing to add all the required dlls.

Edit your projectname.json file to ensure PropertyGroup contains PublishWithAspNetCoreTargetManifest = false:

    netcoreapp2.0
    false

Interested to know why the above works?!
