Azure Search .NET SDK throws InvalidOperationException with SerializationBinder

An exception thrown when entering operations with index (Exists, Create, Delete…). Encountered with .NET Core SDK 1.0.4 on Mac OSX 10.12.4

Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot get SerializationBinder because an ISerializationBinder was previously set.

@isaacabraham Good point.

FYI @shahabhijeet @markcowl We found an incompatibility between JSON.NET 11 beta and Microsoft.Azure.Search. Specifically, the JsonSerializerSettings.Binder property, which Microsoft.Azure.Search currently references, has been deleted (it was marked as deprecated in JSON.NET 10). I don’t know if this change will affect ClientRuntime or not, but I thought I should give you folks a heads up. Do you see any harm in setting the max version of Newtonsoft.Json to 10 in AzSdk.reference.props?

I had same issue with .Net core. It solved just after degrading newtonsoft.Json to version 10.2. I guess with any of 10 versions it should work
