Doesn't work with MVC5

[azzlack]

The security model has changed in MVC5, giving the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Attempt by security transparent method 'ClientDependency.Core.Mvc.MvcFilter.ValidateCurrentHandler()' to access security critical type 'System.Web.Mvc.MvcHandler' failed.

Assembly 'ClientDependency.Core.Mvc, Version=1.7.0.4, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is marked with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute, and uses the level 2 security transparency model.  Level 2 transparency causes all methods in AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers assemblies to become security transparent by default, which may be the cause of this exception.

DotNetOpenAuth has encountered same problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19013429/dotnetopenauth-not-working-with-mvc-5-rc

According to that SO link, recompilation against MVC5 will solve the problem.

Cool, will try to get to this and a few other issues next week!

[everdownpour]

I met same problem!
Have any method to fix?

[Shazwazza]

Sorry for the delay, will have a new version out this week

I've just released another 1.7.x version but this is still not compatible with MVC5. I'm going to have to release a different version type because MVC5 requires ASP.Net 4.5 which would be a breaking change.

Looking into Nuget version targeting but to do all this and support .Net 4.0 with MVC4 and .Net 4.5 with MVC5 will require a new setup of the solution - still seeing how that is possible.

Hi,

Do you plan to publish the newer version of the nuget package that is compatible with MVC5?

Thanks,
Ákos

Have worked on it in the core, just haven't found the time to complete it. It of course works just fine with MVC5 but I need to finish multi-targeting the build

[Shazwazza]

I've released the beta for testing which works with MVC 4+ including MVC 5

To test install the beta's

Install-Package ClientDependency -Pre

Install-Package ClientDependency-Mvc -Pre

And all should work. If anyone can test then I'll release the full version asap. Thanks!

This looks quite an old post but I'm having the same issues - I attempted to use the beta release but it just crashes with the following:

A section using 'configSource' may contain no other attributes or elements.

I have this in my web.config:

As this issue was closed, am I right in thinking that this package isn't being developed anymore?

Ignore my last comment - the message was telling me exaclty what the problem was so once I resolved that, it compiled fine!
