Describe the bug

image

Similar issues have been described in #1318 and #745. As usual, Microsoft seems to be ignoring it.
The DLL files are not being copied into the bin, and thus I am getting runtime errors from a missing DLL.

I am trying to run this an Azure Cloud. This is neither working on Azure Cloud nor locally on my local PC.

Exception message: System.DllNotFoundException: 'Unable to load DLL 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.x64.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)'

To reproduce

Simply create an ASP.NET 4.8 project and add Microsoft.Data.SqlClient (currently 5.1.1) and Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI (currently 5.1.0) using NuGet package manager.

SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection("database_connection_string");
sqlConnection.Open();

return sqlConnection;

Expected behavior

The DLLs to be copied to their proper folders so there aren't runtime errors and I can connect to my database.

Further technical details

Microsoft.Data.SqlClient version: (found on the nuget or Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.dll)
.NET Framework 4.8.0
Operating system: Windows 11

Similar issues have been described in #1318 and #745. As usual, Microsoft seems to be ignoring it.

Do you really think that this sort of attitude is helpful? It's likely that they're working on this issues. If you really don't think they are then how about you work on fixing it yourself and contribute?

The attitude is accurate when it comes to Microsoft from experience. The original issues I referenced are years old.

I can't even begin to tell you how many Visual Studio bugs are filed, with video evidence of it happening, but they close it because they can't reproduce it on their personal computer.

Hello,

I don't have a publish folder. Inside the bin folder, the SNI files don't get deposited, hence the error.
Here's the screenshot:

Note that the web project references another project that references Microsoft.Data.SqlClient. Inside that project the files are there:

So the files are in the output for the DataAccessLayer project, which references the SqlClient, but not in the web app. Even though it should be because the web app references DataAccessLayer project.

Have you tried to reference the MDS package directly from your Web app then???

Hello,

Yes that works. But I shouldn't need to do that because the SqlClient is a dependency of a referenced project, and should automatically be built and included.

So this is a bug of some kind somewhere.

Based on this old SO post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19478775/add-native-files-from-nuget-package-to-project-output-directory it looks like the targets file in the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.targets file in the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI package needs to be changed to stop using a Content element to a None element so that it'll be processed as a transient dependency. That package isn't open source and isn't in this repo.

@Aashishkebab , Just to be quicker, can you provide a simple repro that I can test with the set of changes I have on hand? Or at least give me a step-by-step explanation on how to repro the issue in your case. I know there are several other issues, I am just testing to see if the issue is fixable for all existing scenarios.

  1. Create a standard C# project.

  2. Install Microsoft.Data.SqlClient for only that project.

  3. Create a function that opens a connection to SQL.

  4. Create another project as ASP.NET web project with master file (don't know if that matters but I'm giving you how my exact setup is).

  5. Reference only the first project in your ASP.NET project.

  6. Call the function you created from the ASP.NET project.

  7. Build and run. Wait for error.

Hello, I don't want to create even more mess here, but I didn't know which issue to put is in. I haven't seen this solution anywhere before and it may be useful for future readers.
Maybe we had unusual builds, but in our case everything worked locally, but failed on remote, because CI pipeline used MSBuild Rebuild task instead of Build.

So in our case it helped to move from Rebuilding the project to just Building it and targets file worked properly.

We use Azure, and continuous integration doesn't even work because it uses an outdated version of MSBuild. As I said before, typical Microsoft.

Pretty sure you can pick MSBuild version https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/vsbuild-v1?view=azure-pipelines#inputs.
Anyway sorry my fix doesn't work for you.

Our issue occurs both locally and on cloud. We figured out that we need to add a reference to the project even though the dependency already has a reference. So clearly a bug.
