Loading dll's

Question

Hi guys im trying to load the directinput dll into my program, it compiles fine but when I try to run any code associated with it it gives me the following error:

System.IO.FileLoadException was unhandled
  Message=Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v1.1.4322' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Answer 1

You're loading a dll that has been made in the .NET 1 Framework version, but your application is .NET 4. Maybe get a newer copy of that dll, since it is probably outdated by years.

Are you sure you have the latest version? Make sure you have at least the release from June 2010 or later: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=6812

Ok heres the format of my app.config file, it still doesn't work when I do this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
	<runtime>
    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
      <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
    </startup>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Research.Kinect" publicKeyToken="31BF3856AD364E35" culture="neutral"/>
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.0.0.45" newVersion="1.0.0.45"/>
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>

Fixed by moving

Outside of

<runtime>
