Compile As X64 - Attempt To Load Assembly With Incorrect Format
Jul 16, 2010
I have a strange problem in my VB.NET project when I want to compile it as x64. If I set the target CPU to Any CPU, it will be fine and on x64 systems it will run as x64. But if I set the target CPU to only x64, my project will show up some error/warnings and won't compile at all, here are them:
Error 1 : An attempt was made to load an assembly with an incorrect format
Warning 2 : Possible problem detected while building assembly 'x': Referenced assembly 'mscorlib.dll' targets a different processor
Warning 3 : Possible problem detected while building assembly 'x': Referenced assembly 'System.Data.dll' targets a different processor
Warning 4 : Possible problem detected while building assembly 'x': Referenced assembly 'System.EnterpriseServices.dll' targets a different processor
This is very strange, those are system assemblies and my project is .NET Framework 2.0. How they can run when my application is set to any CPU but not at x64 only?!

I have dll and exe files which have assebly version numbers different from the values stored in AssemblyInfo.vb.If I look at the information displayed in the Details tab of File properties in Windows, the File version and Product version values are identical with the values of AssemblyInfo.vb. But when I use My.Application.Info.Version to display the version number at runtime, the value displayed is incorrect. Also when I add a reference to a dll file, the referenced version is incorrect. The incorrect value is the same as the value last time AssemblyInfo.vb was edited on the local machine. If the AssemblyInfo.vb file is edited on another machine, the value won't be updated on other machines.
Typical example: On a nightly build the build server increments the build number of all AssemblyInfo.vb files. When developer workstations are updated in the morning (get latest) the build number isn't updated at runtime - even though the AssemblyInfo.vb file is updated and compiled into a new dll or exe file. But file properties in Windows displays the updated build number as described above. I've been looking for other places where a version number might be stored (in case there are more than one place to update the version number), but I can't find any reference to the displayed build number when I search the source files.
If a developer workstation edits the build number, compiles, and edits it back to the correct value and builds again, the displayed value at runtime is equal to the value in the source file. It's like the AssemblyInfo.vb files must be edited on the machine that builds the solution, or the result is not reliable..

Every time I compile a new release build in vb.net 2009, the file version number of my main exe is correct, but the assembly version number is the same as the last build instead of the current version even though I manually change the file and assembly version in the design studio to be the same prior to compiling.The only way I can get the assembly version to be correct is to close Visual Studio and delete the obj folder. Then if I open the solution and recompile, all is well.
Here is the information copied from the About box in VS:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.30729.1 SP
Microsoft .NET Framework

I am trying to use NAnt in order to compile and sign an assembly using the vbc compiler. I have a project set up and am able to successfully sign the assembly compiling with VS2010. When I try to sign it using the command line I get this error:
vbc : error BC30140: Error creating assembly manifest: Error signing assembly -- The parameter is incorrect.
I even created a trivially simple app (just an assemblyinfo.vb file) that will not compile and sign using vbc.exe What am I doing wrong?
here is my assemblyinfo.vb:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Imports System
Imports System.Reflection
[Code]....
I have found that MSBuild also does not like having the AssemblyKeyFile attribute as I have defined it in the AssemblyInfo.vb, it gives the same failure message. So the only way I can currently get this to build correctly is to set properties on the project to tell it which key file to use and to sign the assembly.
The reason this appears to work building the project from within VS2010 is that msbuild is passing /keycontainer to vbc.exe on the command line instead of using /keyfile. Still don't know how to use the /keyfile command line parameter.

One of them is giving us trouble in only 1 spot out of the 4 spots we use it at:The trouble spot is a windows form project that uses reflection to dynamically load some DLLs that run long running processes. One of these long running processes is an agent that relies on one of our vender DLLsWe're getting the missing assembly exception at the point where we first enter a function that references the library. I already checked the silly things such as if we had forgotten to move a reference from the old version to the new version, but that's not the case. I also checked the bin directory of the project and the assembly is there.

is there any way to make the app load and compile local dll?
an exemple:
All process over visual studio 2010
i made an app on win7 that uses shell32.dll but the way that win7 compile his own interlog.shell32.dll it makes the app don't work in XP. But if after i finish the app on win7 send the code to a xp machine and set the shell32.dll on XP the app will work fine.
so... if there was a way to make the app, at his first load, do search from needed dll to compile them for his needs, it will was fantastic.

I have a file name, like "Foo.dll," for a library that I know is in the bin directory. I want to create an Assembly object for it. I'm trying to instantiate this object from a class that's not a page, so I don't have the Request object to get the path. How do I get the path I need to use Assembly.Load()?

This is my Errormessage:
Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:Windowssystem32Rule.dll'. The system cannot find the file specified.
The problem is that the same exe works in my development environment but not on productive server. The program is a tool that should run as a Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008. It consists of an exe, one so called Database.dll and the Rule.dll. The exe should load the Rule.dll dynamically in codebehind but it fails with the above error only when started from Task Scheduler. Why is it looking in System32 folder and not in the Application folder? Is it an UAC-issue?

I'm working with a 3rd party assembly to implement something in our in-house software. I can make the refence and work with the library without a problem, but when I run the program to test it i'm getting this error "Can't load file or assembly "assembly file" nor either of its dependencies. The system couldn't find the specified file" (i'm from Mexico, exception is in Spanish so i had to tanslate it, sorry for the poor translation) I have given read and write permission to the file, the folder, and for all users and still wont load it. I saw that the assembly has the PublicKeyToken=null, does that have any to do with that i cant load the assembly?

if I want to open my vs2008 project, I get the error "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft Build Engine, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, .... or one of its dependencies. The system can't find the specified file." Yesterday it has no problem and today I get this message. I have uninstalled nothing, I have net framework 3.5 and in the meantime 4.0 too, I use win 7 x64. I tried to repair the install of vs2008 with the dvd, no succes. what I should do to get this to work again? I don't want to reinstall win 7 (inkl. format the system drive).
EDIT: I checked the system with the net verify tool, and it comes out, that some dll-s in the assembly directory are missing. Now, I clean up all net framework on the system, then I will install the net framework 3.5 sp1 and let's see, whether it works or not.
EDIT 2: I even can't install the net framework 3.5 sp1. I downloaded the full pack from microsoft and if I click on it, nothing happens. Why?
EDIT 3: after reinstalling all vs2008 components and after running the net removal tool again, I wanted to install vs2008 back. And the install says: the net framework 3.5 (x64) is installed. I know, win 7 contains it. Then how the hell can I uninstall and reinstall the net framework 3.5??

Usually, when I create an application, all I need to do is copy the .exe file from the "inDebug" folder to run onto other machines.
But this time, I've got a 3rd party control. So, copying the .exe isn't good enough. I get a message as soon as the application loads "Could not load file or assembly ..."
I have added a "Setup and Deployment" to the project, but that still doesn't seem to include all of the files to the 3rd party control.
Because after successfully installing this application, the same error message is displayed "Could not load file or assembly ..."
how I can get this application to run on another machine without installing this 3rd party control first?

I would like to load a class library at runtime. As such, I thought I could use reflection to do so.However I am receiving the exception "Unable to cast object of type 'MyLibrary.LogSystem' to type 'MainApp.ILog'." in my main application.

I am working on a project where I have to load assemblies (lets call them tasks) at runtime, run the task and then be able to kill off the whole assembly so that the dll can be replaced without interrupting the main application.There are many of these tasks running within the main application,some run sequentially and some run in parallel.Occasionally one or to of these tasks need to be updated and then re-added to the queue. Currently we are stopping the entire application and interrupting the other tasks at whatever stage they are at, which is not ideal.I have figured out that I will have to load each assembly into a separate AppDomain, but loading the assemblies in those domains is proving difficult, especially when I need to actually run the tasks and receive events from them.I have been looking into this problem for a couple of days and have still not managed to get a working proof-of-concept.
I have an Interface for the tasks which includes a 'run' and 'kill' method (subs) and a 'taskstep','complete' and 'killed' event.'taskstep' returns an object to be cached later, 'complete' fires when the whole task is done and 'killed' fires when it is ready to be unloaded.There should also be a timeout on the whole process of two hours and a timeout of 2 minutes on the killed event in case it gets stuck, at which point I would like to be able to unload it, forcing any threads to terminate (which is what 'kill' should do anyway).Each assembly may contain several tasks, all of which should loadable be unloadable.I have no problems loading these tasks as 'plugins' but am lost when trying to both use them and unload them. If I have to create some elaborate wrapper then so be it but is what I need even possible? I have tried inheriting from MarshalByRefObject but I do not even know the assembly fullname unless I load it first, which then locks the file. I have tried loading from a byte array of the assembly. This means that the file is not locked but a copy of it remains in the current appdomain. This will become problematic over the following months / years![code]
