I have a GUI app which should load the designer content, but fails and goes to break state. It seems there is a problem loading a DLL file, but another version (on another machine) is running OK.
Version is visual studio community 2022 64bit 17.10.0.
In break mode none of the tasks buttons here helps:
I've checked the location and access to the DLL file:
Details of the Exception message:

Hello, may I know whether your issue has been solved or not? If not, please share it in here. We can work together to figure it out.
Please copy the assembly ‘idrsnet16.dll’ into the directory of your application executable. And change the Build Platform Target to debug again.
Hi @Per Jensen,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
What is your build configuration? If it is Debug mode, please change it to Release and try again.
Please copy the assembly ‘idrsnet16.dll’ into the directory of your application executable. And try to set the Build Platform Target to x86 or x64 so that it is compatible with your DLL.
You can also close all running VS instances and delete the hidden .vs folder in the project folder.
Then, re-launch the VS, rebuild and debug your project.
Sincerely,
Anna
