Why am I getting exception when building with Release configuration?

[javidsho]

When I build my application with Release config, it throws the following exception upon launching:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.'

I have tried copying out the dll file manually from the debug output as a workaround, but that didn't work either.

Add this nuget reference.
In DEBUG it's transitively referenced through Diagnostic package.

Thanks for the answer :) Somehow I hadn't thought of that!

Isn't it much simpler to just add in cproj file after:
<!--Condition below is needed to remove Avalonia.Diagnostics package from build output in Release configuration.--> <PackageReference Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'" Include="Avalonia.Diagnostics" Version="0.10.18" />
simple line:
<PackageReference Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'" Include="Avalonia.Controls.DataGrid" Version="0.10.18" />

Thanks, that got mine working! Of course, it's currently v11.2.6...
