cannot add dll to project

Post by agiletestware » Wed Sep 19, 2012 11:45 am

Hello,
I am trying to add my own dll to one of the sample ranorex sample project. however, upon compile I get 1 warning and 1 error

Resolved file has a bad image, no metadata, or is otherwise inaccessible. Could not load file or assembly 'C:\downloads\foo.dll' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. (MSB3246)

The type or namespace name 'foo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246) - C:\Users\windows7\Documents\Ranorex\RanorexStudio Projects\Samples\KeePassTestSuite\KeePassTestSuite\CodeModules\foo.cs:20,7

I can see the dll in the references folder. I tried chaning the project target framework to different versions (2, 3, 3.5, 4) but to luck.

What am I doing wrong? This dll works fine when being called from some IDE like sharp develop.

Thanks

Hello,

Are you sure that you used the same runtime for the two projects?
Did you create the dll on another machine where a newer .Net version is installed?
Do you have installed the full/extended version of the .Net 4.0 framework?
Which .Net version is used in your Ranorex project?
