Datastax C# Driver .Build() Throws System.IO.FileLoadException

looks like I have a binding redirects issue that I don't know how to solve.

When .Build() is called, I get the following exception:

[2020-10-09 14:09:28.806] [                              :001] [ERROR] [DatabaseClient                ] Failed to connect to Cassandra Database...

I have another project in this solution that references System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow, Version=4.11.1.0.

This error doesn't happen locally, but happens when I deploy my application.

How can I fix this?

Can you try installing System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow, Version=4.11.1.0 in the project that uses the DataStax driver?

Looks like there were two assemblies being references by the same set of projects, but with different versions. What I did was add both <AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects> and <PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext> to my .csproj file for my StartUp (main) project. This generated a binding reference in my App.config that would point all earlier versions of the assembly to a single version amongst all projects.
