Mono not executing VS compiled 4.5 .NET API exe with Azure reference

Question

I have a Linux/ubuntu Trusty64 virtual machine through virtual box manager. I'm trying to run a VS 2015 compiled .NET4.5 Web API exe with Azure storage reference through Mono. I have the Exe and EXE.Config file in the app folder. When I give the mono command it comes back saying

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage, version=7.0.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.

Answer 1

Here is how I did it, I upgraded my .NET code into a 5.0 console package template. Made sure it was DNX 5.0 core compliant code and made the below dockerfile in the Ubuntu virtual machine at the solution level of the project. FROM microsoft/aspnet COPY . /app WORKDIR /app/src/"Projectname" RUN ["dnu","restore"] ENTRYPOINT ["dnx", "run"]
