I am trying to learn dapper and I am having to use a binding redirect but am having trouble getting it to work. This is what I have so far. I am getting this error, An exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in Dapper.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Could not load type 'Dapper.SqlMapper' from assembly 'Dapper, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

I was getting this exact error and couldn't get past it. Then I got rid of the nuget package and instead copied the SqlMapper.cs into my project and the problem went away.
