Hi @kong ,
Make all references and binding redirects use 4.2.0.0 like this,you could try:

<Reference Include="System.Net.Http, Version=4.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL">  
  ...  
</Reference>  
  
  <dependentAssembly>  
    <assemblyIdentity name="System.Net.Http" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />  
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.2.0.0" newVersion="4.2.0.0" />  
  </dependentAssembly>
