For a client I need to develop a custom section where they can upload a specific excel file and then I need to read it and do some stuff with it. For this reason I want to use LinqToExcel, a great package that lets me easily read an excel file s if it were a database table.
However I am running into a problem. LinqToExcel has a dependency for log4net 1.2.13.0 while Umbraco uses log4net 1.2.11.0
Normally you can point older dependencies to use a newer version using a assembly binding, however there is none for log4net in the web.config, and creating one manually also doesn’t seem to work.
Below is the error I am getting. Is there a way to use another version of log4net that I am just missing? Or is the version Umbraco.Core needs somehow hardcoded?
