Answer 1

I had the same issue when trying to use the calendar api. I had to uninstall the nuget packages, change the .net version from 4.5 to 4.0 then installed the nuget packages again, then it worked.

Answer 2

Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.Extensions.dll and Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.Desktop.dll are two different assemblies and it looks like you're naming them in the wrong way.

Please check on this side on more information on how to build it.
