Duplicate type name within an assembly. – Entity FrameWork (EF)

Hey everyone,

I ran into this error message while trying to debug a project today:

“Duplicate type name within an assembly.”

 

The workaround to this was actually pretty weird. Remove all of your breakpoints that appear before this exception and place one after it instead. That’s it!

A bit of a weird issue, but according to the StackOverflow post where I found the solution Microsoft are aware of it: http://stackoverflow.com/a/23529882/522859

Unable to Find GoogleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions – MVC4/5

Hey everyone,

I was following the guide provided via the startup.auth.cs link on how to add Google authentication to your app. The problem I hit was that the example types used weren’t available, specifically GoogleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions.

Thankfully the fix fix for this was pretty easy, simply update OWIN via NuGet:

– Right click on your project
– Go to Manage NuGet Packages
– Click on the updates drop down
– Search for OWIN
– Update all of the relevant options

Thanks to this Stackoverflow post for the solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/23606431/522859
