.NET API V2 NuGet installation problem on VS 2010 MVC3 application

Hi,

 

Can't use API after NuGet installation, even on new ASP.NET MVC3 application. But it works ok for new WindowsForms application (not of my interest)

 

Symptoms:

 

1.

line 'using Dropbox.Api; ' gives error "Error 7 The type or namespace name 'Dropbox' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) "

But before compilation failed autocomplete worked well with name 'Dropbox.Api' !

 

2.

8 similar warnings while building application: "Warning 9 The primary reference "Dropbox.Api, Version=0.1.6229.33336, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=310f0e82fbb45d01, processorArchitecture=MSIL" could not be resolved because it has an indirect dependency on the framework assembly "System.Net.Http, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" which could not be resolved in the currently targeted framework. ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0". To resolve this problem, either remove the reference "Dropbox.Api, Version=0.1.6229.33336, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=310f0e82fbb45d01, processorArchitecture=MSIL" or retarget your application to a framework version which contains "System.Net.Http, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a". TdbWeb2"

 

Indeed, I have System.Net.Http referenced (by NuGet) in version 2.2.29.0

But luckily NuGet added also

<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Net.Http" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.2.29.0" newVersion="2.2.29.0" />
</dependentAssembly>

to my Web.config. So it seems not working. Maybe VS 2010 is too old for that?

 

3.

After installation I have a reference to Dropbox.Api but double-click on in does not show it in Object Browser as for other references.

 

 

If it cannot be solved - are Dropbox.Api sources available in public? I may build it by myself instead of using raw HTTP API.

 

My VS version is: 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel

 

Thanks in advance for any help. We use Dropbox for running out business and successful migration to V2 is a must.
