Could you please help with the following issue:

<Message>Unexpected exception from plug-in (Execute): PluginXXXXCreate: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies.

I need to use Newtonsoft.json from Dynamics plugin

I have installed Json.Net using NuGet, these are the settings below. 

packages.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>

    You need to use ILMerge to include external dll or another project assembly to your plugin

    Please refer

    if it is just to serialize a json to a data contract, you could use

    Complaint jsonData = new Complaint();
byte[] result = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
                    using (var jsonReader = JsonReaderWriterFactory.CreateJsonReader(result, XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max))
                    {
                        var outputSerialiser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(jsonData.GetType());
                        jsonData = outputSerialiser.ReadObject(jsonReader) as Complaint;
                    }


    -- It saves you from ILMerging Newtonsoft.json.

    you have to add

    using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;

    Thank you for reply, is this raising a security issue? (compiling external dll inside plugin sandbox env) ?

    Also , could you please assist with the change of the file ? this is csprj

     <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />

     <!-- To modify your build process, add your task inside one of the targets below and uncomment it.

          Other similar extension points exist, see Microsoft.Common.targets.

     <Target Name="BeforeBuild">

     </Target>

     <Target Name="AfterBuild">

     </Target>

     -->

    I would like to avoid using newtonsoft.json but I can't get data deserialized

    this is the odata json

    {

     "@odata.context": "http://test_link/$metadata#docs(Id,Code,Version)",

     "value": [

       {

         "@search.score": 1,

         "Id": "3",

         "Code": 3,

         "Version": 1,

         },

    {message2},

    {message3},

    }

    and these my c# classes

     public class OData

       {

           [JsonProperty("odata.metadata")]

           public string Metadata { get; set; }

           public List<Resp> Value { get; set; }

       }

       public class Resp

       {

           public Resp() { }

           public string Id { get; set; }

           public string Code { get; set; }

           public string Version { get; set; }

    }
