Thank you for the example.

I have installed Dropbox API v2 library in a project which target framework is 4.0 and calling GetCurrentAccountAsync() as you have suggested then i'm getting exception like "Could not load file or assembly 'Dropbox.Api, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=310f0e82fbb45d01' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"

Do i need to change target framework to 4.5 or is there any way to fix this exception. If i will have to change framework then it will be major change for my project.

    Hi Greg,

     

    I have one of my winform project (framework 4.0) then added one more project name "dropboxV2" (framework 4.0) to the same solution and set this project output type as "Class Library". I went to package manager console then run "Install-Package Dropbox.Api", after completion i got "Successfully installed 'Dropbox.Api 4.3.1' to dropboxV2".

     

    I have a class like in newly added project:

    public async void GetCurrentAccount(string accessToken)
{
     using (var client = new DropboxClient(accessToken))
      {
           var fullAccount = await client . 
            Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync();               
      }
}

    Now i'm accessing above method from my main project as:

    dropboxV2.DropboxHelper helper = new dropboxV2.DropboxHelper();
helper.GetCurrentAccount(access_token); // here i'm getting exception

    What i'm doing wrong here? Please help.

    Thank you.

      Thanks! Can you try installing the SDK in both projects?

      Also, I believe you'll need to at least install System.Net.Http.

        No, i have managed to install Dropbox.Api v2 into my main project itself and System.Net.Http is installed too.

        Thanks for your support.
