Could not load assembly 'Microsoft.Data.OData' when accessing Azure Storage during development

I have created a simple C# application at visual studio and I try to run that from my local machine. I have visual studio 2013. However, when I try to run the program, I get the exception: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.OData, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral I have also tried the solution mentioned here:Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.Data.OData Version=5.2.0.0 error in Azure Cloud Worker Role using Table Storage That is to add the following at my config file: ``` <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.OData" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.5.0.0" newVersion="5.5.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.Edm" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.5.0.0" newVersion="5.5.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> ``` But it still didn't work. I do not know if I should change anything at the versions of that text. The line that throws the exception is: ``` CloudTableClient client = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient(); ``` I have also downloaded the package: http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Data.Services.Client/ as mentioned at Missing Microsoft.Data.Services.Client version 5.6 on Azure Websites. However the installer informed me that I already have the version 5.6.1.0 of the file and nothing happens. ``` Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.StorageException was unhandled HResult=-2146233088 Message=Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.OData, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.
