What version of vb.net did you use to build "d:\path_of_the_dll"?

So the dll and the executable to reference the dll are all being built
with the same version of VB.Net? That seems very odd.

Have you tried putting both projects into one solution, then adding the
reference as a project, rather than navigating to the dll itself?
