System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Boolean System.Type.op_Equality(System.Type, System.Type)'.

[Jair Piedrahita]

Hi, 

I am getting an error while trying to add a syncfusion control (datepicker) in a view. 

The code I have is as follows: 

<div>

    <ej-date-picker id="datepicker" value="@DateTime.Now"></ej-date-picker>

</div>

I am including necesary namespaces in _ViewImports.cshtml

@using Syncfusion.JavaScript

@addTagHelper "*, Syncfusion.EJ"

I followed the "Getting Started" instructions and everything compiles correctly, but at runtime it throws the following exception: 

MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Boolean System.Type.op_Equality(System.Type, System.Type)'.

• System.ComponentModel.DefaultValueAttribute..ctor(Type type, string value)

• System.Reflection.CustomAttribute._CreateCaObject(RuntimeModule pModule, IRuntimeMethodInfo pCtor, Byte** ppBlob, Byte* pEndBlob, Int32* pcNamedArgs)

• System.Reflection.CustomAttribute.CreateCaObject(RuntimeModule module, IRuntimeMethodInfo ctor, ref IntPtr blob, IntPtr blobEnd, out int namedArgs)

• System.Reflection.CustomAttribute.GetCustomAttributes(RuntimeModule decoratedModule, int decoratedMetadataToken, int pcaCount, RuntimeType attributeFilterType, bool mustBeInheritable, IList derivedAttributes, bool isDecoratedTargetSecurityTransparent)

• System.Attribute.InternalGetCustomAttributes(PropertyInfo element, Type type, bool inherit)

• Syncfusion.JavaScript.Shared.Serializer.SerializeObject.SerializeToJson(object inputObject)

• Syncfusion.JavaScript.EJTagHelper.RenderControl(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output)

• Syncfusion.JavaScript.EJTagHelper.Process(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output)

• Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Runtime.TagHelpers.TagHelperRunner+<RunAsync>d__0.MoveNext()

• System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)

I have tried creating a new project and followed same steps and it works, but somehow it doesn't work in my actual project where I intend to incorporate syncfusion controls. 

Please help in avoiding this issue, or how to check the real cause. 

Thanks

Jair

Hi Francis, 

Thank you for your response. I did as suguested, but still getting same error. However, I noticed that during compilation, Visual Studio is showing some information message: 

Project Bancavalor (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0) will be compiled because project is not safe for incremental compilation. Use --build-profile flag for more information.

1>  Compiling Bancavalor for .NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0

1>  Compilation succeeded.

1>      0 Warning(s)

1>      0 Error(s)

1>  Time elapsed 00:00:20.5845150

1>   (The compilation time can be improved. Run "dotnet build --build-profile" for more information)

========== Recompilar todo: 1 correctos, 0 incorrectos, 0 omitidos ==========

According to what you said, the problem might be here, neverless the rest of the application is working fine. Please help in avoiding this issue. 

I am attaching the requested information. I am working in Visual Studio 2015. 

Thanks
