How to fix 'IMvcBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'AddNewtonsoftJson'

This method is typically used to configure JSON serialization settings in ASP.NET Core applications using Newtonsoft.Json instead of the built-in System.Text.Json.
Error CS1061 'IMvcBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'AddNewtonsoftJson' and no accessible extension method 'AddNewtonsoftJson' accepting a first argument of type 'IMvcBuilder' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
To resolve the addnewtonsoftjson not found, ensure you have added the necessary package reference in your project. You should have the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson
package installed.
To install the package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson
, you can right click on your project, then select Manage Nuget Packages => Install
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson
If it's already installed, make sure you have imported the namespace Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
where the extension method AddNewtonsoftJson
is defined.
Finally, you can call as below.
// addnewtonsoftjson a not imvcbuilder services.AddControllers().AddNewtonsoftJson();
Here's an example of how you would add NewtonsoftJson in your ASP.NET Core application during startup
// addnewtonsoftjson not imvcbuilder found public class Startup { public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddControllers() .AddNewtonsoftJson(options => { // your settings... }); } }
After adding the package and configuring the JSON serialization, the AddNewtonsoftJson
method should be recognized by the IMvcBuilder
.
