Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3623; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3618 

the root cause of this issue is that all my application had been configured  to run windows authentication and run under the application pool that configure with service account.

when i set up the application pool, it was configured to run in the asp.net 2.0 environment. 
as a result, i will get the above error when i deployed my upgrade code to staging environment.

after i create a new applicaiton pool running in .net framework 4.0. the configure error is fixed.

How to fix "Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded."

Today i got a very weired error as following

"Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded."


when i check my project properties, under the application tab. the target framework had been
set to .Net Framework 3.5

the root cause of this issue is that new library

using System.Net.Http; 

using System.Web.Script.Serialization;  

that Newtonsoft.Json depends on are  Available at the .Net Framework 4.0 or 4.5.

after i switched to the latest .Net Framework.the project compile and the page was launched.
