Could Not Load File Or Assembly 'Microsoft.VisualBasic
Apr 26, 2010
I am trying to use my .NET DLL library that is compiled in VIsual Studio 2008 in Linux. Now for that they have this Mono CLI implementation but unfotunately they have not fully implemented Microsoft.VisualBasic library as of yet. So when i try to call certain methods from my DLL i get this error: "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.".
But not every function in my DLL crashes with this error. I found out that it is because this error only occurs when i use VisualBasic functionality. But the problem is that many things that come from this library are default things that you can do when using VB .NET.
Is there any way i can completely remove VIsualBasic functionality from my code in my DLL library?
I read in another post that setting Option Strict On is a good place to start but i still get the error even after doing that. Additionaly, i have unchecked VisualBasic namespace and removed it from references.
I want to get this Assembly version, I have an old application and lost the source code. When I try to disassemble with reflect it ask for Microsoft.VisualBasic Version=7.0.3300.0 Where I can find it?
I use:Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop as well as a Reference from the "COM" tab called "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library"
I built my program then copied the .exe from the inDebug folder to a location on my company's server. I then double clicked the .exe and it ran as I expected it would.My boss then tried (from another computer) and he gets this error:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
When ever I finish simple programs no matter what it is and i click to debug it it comes up"Error while trying to run project:could not load file or assembly"project name" or one of its dependencies.the module was expected to contain an assembly manifest"
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.
after being disappointed with VB2010, and with the lack of vb support for windows 7 phone, I thought I'd be happy now that vb is going to be supported after all.So, I downloaded the trial version of vs 2010, to run these new tools.Several hours later it finishes installing, and I start a new project only to run into the error: Error: this template attempted to load component assembly "Microsoft.VisualStudio .SmartDevice.ProjectSystem.Base".
I am almost done cleaning the code. It is a huge project and I only have 35 errors left. I have opened a new thread as this is no longer only about IsNumeric. All errors relate to the following Microsoft.VisualBasic keywords:
I have a method which takes a stored procedure name and a Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection? I am referencing a vb project in which I have to pass in a collection to this method, but the current project I am in is in c#, so I am unclear what I can pass into the method?
Here is the vb call:
public void CallStoredProc(string spName, Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection params);
In my c# app, I need to call this an pass in the appropriate c# object to params.
I use VS 2008, .net 3.5, C# projects. I need do the same functionally like Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.File System.DeleteDirectory. Anyone says referencing the Microsoft.VisualBasic is often undesirable from within C#. Any association with VB from within C# code strikes me as undesirable. Using FileSystem class, this is a perfectly fine solution, but I prefer not references Microsoft.VisualBasic library. That one I would avoid.
I've got a .NET solution that I've just upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010. It contains three web projects and two straight VB projects. The web projects all depend on (and have a reference to) one of the VB projects called BusinessLogic.All projects are targeted at .NET 2.0, but VS2010 is raising the following build warning:
The following assembly has dependencies on a version of the .NET Framework that is higher than the target and might not load correctly during runtime causing a failure: BusinessLogic, Version=1.0.4419.22315, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. The dependencies are: Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a. You should either ensure that the dependent assembly is correct for the target framework, or ensure that the target framework you are addressing is that of the dependent assembly.
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 am getting the following error message below and don't know why. I've even rebooted my machine and it still won't work.

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 created a setup file for my project, and i keep getting a can not load file or assembly error.There are no erros in my build or project.I can test this, and it works fine on my localbox wile in my vs.net project.When i create a setup file, and test it on another machine, i get this error below.
When I start my application I get the following error:
method not found microsoft.visualbasic.msgboxresult
I have tried repairing my .NET installation.
Note: This error only occurs on one machine. On every other machine it works fine which makes me think something with the .NET assemblies was corrupted. It was working fine on the broken machine a few days ago.
When ever I start a blank WPF project in Visual Basic 2010 (SP1) I get the following error:
Type 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated' is not defined.
The error comes from the auto-generated code in MainWindow.g.i.vb - when I try to add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic, it says I can't because it will be added at runtime.
I want to see the source code of Microsoft.Visualbasic.Financial.IRR how would i break it and how would i seee the sorce code of IRR method of financial class?System{" df -k | awk '{sum += $4 }i; END {print sum} '"};
above line is not useful I've tried to view it using different software but it will not work for me is there any software that will view it source code.
I have a web application in .Net in which I use Ajax controls in some pages. Those pages are working in localhost, but when hosted, the pages in which Ajax included shows following error.

I have developed one class library using .net 3.5 framework and i am using this in another project developed in .Net 2.0 framework, in this case i m getting the following error. Could not load file or assembly 'AssemblyName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I am facing this problem when running my application on 64 bit os .While it is working good on 32 bit OS which is my development environment also. I do not know how to get rid of it. Target CPU is set as Any CPU (there are no other option coming there).
I recently added hsProgressbar.dll to my Program, it worked fine, but then I decided to remove it from my Computer and also remove it from the references...however..the Warning is still there? How can I completely remove it, so that I don't get the error anymore?
I have two projects in a solution. One is a class library with my FTP, GPG and some other classes that get compiled into a dll call CBI.Utilities. The other is my main app which in a few places call the ftp class. I added the reference to the main solution by browing to the project from references under the main solution and now I get this error when I try to instantiate the ftp class.
"Could not load file or assembly 'CBI.Utilities, Version=1.0.2053.21021, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=78bbe40a91a1660e' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)" Should I be making a reference to the DLL or to the projects. Either way I end up with a reference cbi.utilities.
