I've been successfully running on .NET client library for well over a month.  I have 11.0.1 installed.  

Yesterday, I clicked on the available Updates in NuGet package manager and saw that 12.0.0 is now available as well as some updates to Google.Api.Gax and several other Google.Api packages.  I ran the updates and fixed a single reference where "using Google.Ads.GoogleAds.Util" had to be changed to "using Google.Ads.Gax.Util" in order for my code to compile.  Once I did this and ran my code, I immediately got the same "Method not found: Google.Api.Gax.Grpc.ClientHelper..ctor(Google.Api.Gax.Grpc.ServiceSettingsBase)'." runtime error you reported here when simply trying to grab a GoogleAdsClient.  

I didn't have time to trace through things, so I rolled back the changes until I can find time to look at it again.  However, it feels like something in the client library must still be looking for "Util" within Google.Ads.GoogleAds rather than its new home of Google.Ads.Gax.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Since your concern is not an aligned enum for .Net client library, you may reach out to the .NET client library owner by filing an issue on the issue tracker on the Issue tab of your client library on github, so that they can provide guidance on it.  

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,

Nirmita, it seems like CFJ hijacked my post with their own circumstances, but their circumstances are different than mine.  

In my situation, I have merely atttempted to use the commercially avaialable from the Latest supported client libraries, and I get the error.  In CFJ situation, they are using different libraries that are not yet released. It might be the same error message but the situation is different.

Can you please review my post and if you think your reply is what I should do, please mention it. 

Right now, it seems like the published Examples are out of date, and the published sample code fails during runtime.

Hi Ward,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Thank you for pointing out that your concern is different from what community user CFJ posted on your thread.

However, for us to investigate your concern further, could you please provide us with the complete request and response logs with request ID generated, so that our team can check better. For the Java client library, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (select .NET) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link. You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option.

Hi Ronny,

I am Sherwin from Google Ads API support team. I work with Yasar and I hope that you are doing well today.

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API support team. However, for us to investigate this problem, could you please provide us with the complete request and response logs with request ID generated, so that our team can check better. For the Java client library, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (select .NET) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link. You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. These logs will help us rule out if this is a Google Ads API related concern or a client library related concern. 

Warm regards,

Hi Ronny,
 

Thank you for getting back to us. I work with Sherwin &  Yasar and allow me to assist you here.
 

Upon seeing in this thread that you have not yet provided complete logs, that my colleague "Sherwin & Yasar" requested. That said, could you please provide the complete API logs (request and response logs with request ID ) so our team can identify the exact problem and provide possible recommendations to your concern?

For you to provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header that generated on your end, note that this can be requested or provided to the developer handling the Google Ads API transactions when logging of the API requests has been enabled. If it hasn't been enabled yet, then advise to refer to the specific guide below:

.Net - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/dotnet/logging
