System.Reflection is mising from bin folder once upgrade the project from .NetFramework 4.6.2 to 4.8

Ranjan Sahoo 1

When I am upgrading my project from .NetFramework 4.6.2 to 4.8 and after doing reinstallation of package as per suggestion and rebuild the project and went to bin folder then the system.reflection was missing. Before upgrading framwork it is there with no issue. Need some help on this to find out the root cause why the dll is missing after upgrade.

Hi, @Ranjan Sahoo ,

after doing reinstallation of package as per suggestion and rebuild the project and went to bin folder then the system.reflection was missing.

Could you please provide more information about the suggestion you get and what have you done?
You can try to install System.Reflection package from Nuget package manager.

Best Regards.

Hi @Jiachen Li-MSFT
System.Reflection is already installed but it is missing from bin folder even after rebuild or build. If I change back to .NetFrameowrk 4.6.2 it is addng automaticaly after build.

Hi, @Ranjan Sahoo ,
System.Reflection is a namespace in the Microsoft Common Runtime Library (mscorlib.dll), normally you don't need to add the reference to this assembly unless you accidentally removed it.
mscorlib.dll is part of .NET which is automatically referenced by the build system, so you can consider to reinstall .Net Framework 4.8.
If it doesn't work, could you please upload your project to onedrive or github and share it here?
