Hi,

I have VS 2015 with Update 3. I need to integrate a third party dll into my current Coded UI soln. On loading the dll  VS says file is not in format. 

Third party dll is 64 bit architecture and as per my knowledge Coded UI execute as 32 bit process.

Can anybody provide any update over this..

Hi Nitin,

Welcome to MSDN forum.

Do you integrate third party dll into your solution by “Add Reference…”?

>> Third party dll is 64 bit architecture and as per my knowledge Coded UI execute as 32 bit process.

## If you change to debug as “Any CPU”, will the dll load successfully?

## I test on my side by adding a 64 bit dll to my solution and I can successfully build and run my Coded UI test. Could you share me with some more information such as reproduced steps, a simple sample, some error message and screenshots?

Feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,

Tianyu
