unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException'

[Guest]

Full error -

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in
myApp.exe

Additional information: Could not load type
Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxResult from assembly Microsoft.VisualBasic,
Version=7.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A.

This error occurs whenever i call a sub routine. I fixed this by
re-installing the .net framework, but after a few hours or so, it happens
again. This is only occuring in compact framework and not the desktop
framework.

Has anybody got any ideas what the msg means, and how to get around it? its
driving me insane.

Thanks

You are referencing the desktop MS.VB.dll rather than the CF one. How you
got in that situation I am not sure (maybe you used the upgrade vb6 code
wizard which is not smart enough to know it is in a CF project) but you can
remove the reference from your project (references and referencepath) and
try again.

As an aside why not use the System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show instead of
legacy functions like MsgBox...

Cheers

thanks for the quick reply..i did have a referance to the vb6 upgrade code,
but i removed this and it still isnt working. Iv tried running the project on
another machine and it compiles and runs fine. Also what gets me is that i
made a brand new smart device app, created a form with a button, that when
pressed fired a sub routine that popped up a msgbox. This also fell over with
the same error.

Thanks again.

Sounds like a bad installation... do C# projects work fine always? Other
than trying to repair or maybe a full re-installation, I cannot think of
anything else. Naturally before taking such drastic action you should search
to see if anybody else had similar problems. Results for TypeLoadException
are plenty:
