Unable to combine with Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.StackExchangeRedis

Describe the bug

When using Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis and Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.StackExchangeRedis together you get an issue that ConnectionMultiplexer type exists twice.

Once in StackExchange.Redis & once in StackExchange.Redis.StrongName

The type ‘connectionmultiplexer’ exists in both ‘stackexchange.redis.strongname’ …

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Using version ‘2.1.2’ of package ‘Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis’
2. Using version ‘2.2.0’ of package ‘Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.StackExchangeRedis’

var redis = StackExchange.Redis.ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("localhost");
services.AddDataProtection()
              .PersistKeysToStackExchangeRedis(redis);

Nevermind, Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis is the update I asked for.

To clarify for folks here:

The existing package is staying on StackExchange.Redis.StrongName, a new package Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis was introduced that references the new StackExchange.Redis package. The API is the same, with some minor namespace changes.

This was done because the StackExchange.Redis 2.0 release is a breaking change.

Closing as I don’t think there’s actionable work for us here now. Let us know if that changes!
