IPagedList not extending IEnumerable

[Mardoxx]

Can you provide more detail?

I would assume you mean it is kicking off in your Views saying something along the lines of The type 'IEnumerable<>' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0?

Yes. The exposed namespace is now also X.PagedList in the current version. None of the IEnumerable extensions are available in version 5.x. Is the only current solution to patch my .config files or is the current version targeting a different version of .NET MVC? I have no problem sticking with the <5 PagedList and PagedList.Mvc for the time being.

I had the same issue today upgrading from an old version. I believe this has something to do with including a PCL in your project. Not entirely sure. To fix it I updated X.PagedList, manually added the assembly reference to System.Runtime to the project's web.config', which allowed it to build succesfully, closed Visual Studio, deleted (renamed) the hidden.vsfolder in the soluton directory, then opened the project, deleted the entry inweb.configand it was back to compiling fine. I would guess you can just get away with deleting the.vs` folder.

The namespace has changed to X.PagedList somewhere down the line (you can always do a case sensitive find and replace using PagedList for using X.PagedList). The info page on GitHub hasn't been updated yet. The demo project uses X.PagedList

Well, just like the error suggested, I only needed to add the assembly reference to the compilation XML tag in the project web.config file. I still would like to know why this patch is needed. Is it something that VS will handle in the future or is it an issue with how the PCL was configured/targeted?

This is all I added (besides updating refs to X.PagedList) and it builds/runs fine now. This should be in a FAQ or the readme.

<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</assemblies>

That works, but also deleting the .vs folder does too. Unsure about the internals so don't know why it does. Perhaps it's a bug in VS? Be nice to have some insight!
