The Module Was Expected To Contain An Assembly Manifest Visual Studio 2010

a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 21 down vote accepted +50 The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest It is a low-level assembly loading problem. The CLR has located a file with the right name but when it tries to load the assembly, it finds out that the file doesn't contain a proper manifest. A .NET assembly must contain a manifest, it contains metadata that describes the assembly, listing the types in the assembly, etc. If you have no clue what EXE or DLL might be the troublemaker then you can use the Fuslogvw.exe utility: Start it from the "Visual Studio Command Prompt". Click the "Settings" button and click the "Log binding failures to disk" radio button. Switch back to VS and start the program and wait for the exception to occur. Back to Fuslogvw, click the "Refresh" button and double-click the added entry. It shows you the file it found. Several possibilities, a common one these days is to trying to load a .NET 4 assembly with an EXE that asked for CLR version 2. That requires an app.exe.config file that forces CLR 4 to be used. share|improve this answer edited Jan 7 at 13:41 Benoit Blanchon 3,89912024 answered Nov 22 '12 at 20:59 Hans Passant 652k809511598 "trying to load a .NET 4 assembly with an EXE that asked for CLR version 2.

I am having to use it because of a dependency on xceedzip.dll compressed data coming through from a multicast feed. After hacking together some code for receiving the feed, I am facing a hurdle in invoking this dll. From what i understand i need to use the "System.Reflection" and invoke the dll. Currently my source code and the dll reside in the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11343867/c-sharp-the-module-was-expected-to-contain-assembly-manifest same directory. The code compiles successfully. Assembly ass = Assembly.Load("XceedZip"); I get the System.BadImageFormatException during runtime: Could not load file or assembly "XceedZip" or one of its dependecies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest. Please help, Thanks # alright thanks to all your responses, i have a working version of the dll following the tlbimp command loaded into my environment. i am facing trouble with the Uncompress method signature. I need to provide a "ref object" and a "out object" as source (compressed) and destination (uncompressed) objects. I tried loading byte arrays into these positions, but it throws me an invalid arguments error. Help on "ref object" and "out object" appreciated ... problem solved, thanks all c# dll share|improve this question edited Jul 5 '12 at 14:57 asked Jul 5 '12 at 11:58 Aditya Sihag 2,36321429 Great question when it contains 'After hacking together some code' :-) –Maarten Jul 5 '12 at 12:02 xceed has .net specific versions, are you using the .net version of compression? xceed.com/pages/TopMenu/Products/… –Jake1164 Jul 5 '12 at 12:20 i am using the 4.2 version –Aditya Sihag Jul 5 '12 at 12:28 2 The company's product page clearly shows it is a COM component.
