.NET SDK - Newbie runtime dependency error

[TomWilcox]

Hi,

I am a complete newbie to ArcGIS SDK and I have encountered the following error when compiling and running a .NET Sample:


System.BadImageFormatException was unhandled

-------------------------------

The paths to the referenced ArcObjects are correct...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Tom,

What kind of license do you have i.e. ArcInfo or ArcGIS engine ?

Also, Can you provide details on machine specification like is it 32 bit or 64 bit etc.


Cheers!!

Hi Sumit,

Thanks for the response.

The license type (via ArcMap->About) is ArcInfo.

The machine is running 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2.

Thanks,
Tom

I'm curious if you ever resolved this error as I'm running into the same problem.  My environment is ArcInfo 10 sp2 on Windows 7 64-bit.  I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Express for C#, however I recently loaded the ArcOjbects .Net SDK 10 sp2. 

Thanks.

I was able to answer my own question.  I had to change my target configuration to be x86 (32-bit) versus x64 (64-bit).  I did this as follows:

• Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> General

    Check Show advanced build configurations


• This then showed the Solution Platforms combobox



• Select Configuration Manager... from this combobox



• In the "Type or select the new platform," type "x86"



• Hit OK

That should do the trick.
