Could not load type 'SqlGuidCaster' from assembly 'System.Data.SqlClient, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' because it contains an object field at offset 0 that is incorrectly aligned or overlapped by a non-object field.

Describe the bug

I've upgraded Insight.Database to version 6.3.11 and I've noticed this version is referencing a vulnerable version of System.Data.SqlClient (4.5.0), which is causing the below error upon upgrading to .NET 8.

Could not load type 'SqlGuidCaster' from assembly 'System.Data.SqlClient, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' because it contains an object field at offset 0 that is incorrectly aligned or overlapped by a non-object field.

Could you please upgrade to the latest version or better yet replace it with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient thanks

Steps to reproduce

1- Create a .NET 8 project
2- Install the latest version of Insight.Database
3- Run AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
.SelectMany(assembly => assembly.GetTypes())
.Where(type => !type.IsAbstract && typeof(T).IsAssignableFrom(type))
.Select(type => type.Assembly)
.Distinct()

Expected behavior

• Dotnet version: [dotnet8]
• Database: [SQL Server]
• Library version: [6.3.11]

dotnet/SqlClient#1930

The package needs to be upgraded

@jonwagner may you please upgrade to support .net 8?

[jonwagner]

working on this now...

[jonwagner]

The upgrade8 branch has everything running under .NET8. I'll spend the next day or two going through open issues then I'll do a formal build.

[jonwagner]

I just pushed the v8.0.0 build out.

I expect some things to break, so I'll keep reviewing the issues log for the next few weeks.

Also need to find time to update the wiki, as a bunch of stuff just died.

but hey at least Postgres is working again :)
