Question

Hi, i deploy my application to windows 6.1 smartphone. I receive "File or assembly name 'System.Drawing, version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicToken...or one of its dependencies was not found"

Inmediatelly the dialog close and unexpected error info show me "Could not load type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.HandleRef' from assembly mscorlib, Version=3.5.0.0

I can see mscorlib.dll and tlb files into the application folder.

I appreciate any help

Answer 1

It seems like your application is build against desktop framework or at east has a reference to some assembly which is built against desktop framework - as you omitted the PKT I can not tell for sure.

See if this helps to identify the issue: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-SG/windowsmobiledev/thread/0406285b-c514-4dc3-84cf-2564881ab88f

Hi gabriel,

 

I think the .NET Compact Framework on your device has some issues, you need to install them on your device, and do not copy some DLL files into your application folder. I suggest you to reinstall it and try again. Please download it from here:

 

.NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable

 

I hope my suggestions can help you to solve this problem.

 

Best regards,

Jesse

Answer 4

The problem was that I was using a library project with the wrong assembies. I removed the classes of the library and put them inside the smart device project. Finally it solved the problem. Was due to a problem in libraries.

The program failed in a call using System.Drawing MemoryStream (ms) and then Bitmap (ms). What confused me was that previously used without problems Bitmap.

I went back to create a library project for Smart Device and everything was left running.
