## TL;DR

Upgrade the package and EvalFeature evaluates rules correctly. This was a bug in the GrowthBook C# SDK, fixed and released on NuGet as v1.0.5.

## Steps

1. This was a bug in the GrowthBook C# SDK, fixed and released on NuGet as v1.0.5.
Upgrade the package and `EvalFeature` evaluates rules correctly. The reporter
confirmed the scenario works after upgrading.

2. - `EvalFeature` returns `defaultValue` source for every flag.
- The payload demonstrably contains rules (check the raw feature JSON).
- Other GrowthBook SDKs evaluate the same JSON correctly.

3. Same JSON, different SDK, different result: that is always an SDK bug, and the
fix is a version bump.

## When to use

You are seeing this: In a Blazor client app, GrowthBook EvalFeature always returns value source defaultValue even when the SDK payload contains rules, e.g. a force rule for the flag. Use this skill when you run into "GrowthBook C# Blazor: EvalFeature always returns defaultValue source".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

Versions mentioned in the source: as v1.0.5. If you are on something much newer or older, the details may have shifted.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
