 ## Connect to Azure services
 
 When you want to use an Azure service in your application, it usually requires multiple changes to your project, such as package references, code changes, and configuration changes, as well as many changes in Azure to specify the services to connect to, or create them if they don't already exist. Visual Studio helps make this process easier by making those changes in your project and in Azure, based on the information you provide. Visual Studio also gives a list of all the changes, so you can examine them and fully understand what changed.

-This error occurs during a build when more than one version of the same dependent assembly is referenced in a build of the same project. In a .NET build, all assemblies that are referenced, directly or indirectly through other referenced assemblies, have to resolve to the same version. You can't reference two different and conflicting versions of the same assembly when building the same binary. The [ResolveAssemblyReference task](../resolveassemblyreference-task.md) emits this error. The task inspects all the referenced assemblies, and all assemblies referenced indirectly by those assemblies, and so on. The task works through the process until all assembly references are resolved.

 In MSBuild 16.x or later, the specific assembly versions in conflict are written to the log file. In earlier versions of MSBuild, the content isn't added to the log file. Instead, follow the assembly dependency chain to locate the conflicting reference. Look at each assembly that your project references, and then the assemblies that the initial assemblies reference, and so on. Follow this process until you identify the conflicting assembly versions.

 In advanced scenarios, your project might intentionally require more than one version of the same assembly. You can use special techniques to override the normal assembly loading process to accomplish the goal. For more information, see [Resolve assembly loads](/dotnet/standard/assembly/resolve-loads).
