Error 0x8007000B Could not load file or assembly ...or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Question

I have a C# console program that has 2 projects, the main exe and a DLL. Both projects are loaded in VS when i get the error when I try to run as x64 not Any CPU, but I need to run as x64. Since the code for both projects is loaded in VS it should just compile and run as needed. I am at a loss here. Both projects reference the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient NuGit package and both are up to date with the current version.

Answer 1

The problem was my DLL library project was written in VB, but the main exe is in c#. So I converted the main exe to VB and everything runs fine.
