Thanks

Do you have access to the exception object rather than just the
message? That will probably tell you *which* exception was thrown by
the type initializer, which would explain what's wrong.

And is Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll in the right place?
 
Thanks for replying.

I've got C# 6 projects in my 1 WinApp solution. They all link to the same
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll file , situated in the 1st
project's Debug folder.

Do I have to put the separate .dll files into their respective folders,
meaning in each one of my 6 project "Debug" folders ?

Thanks
Andrew

No, but it looks like you should also add a reference to
Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll.
 
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

I do have a dll file named :
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll;

And which my code reads :
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common;
using
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.ObjectBuilder;

This means that I have already referenced the required .dll file ?

Thanks
Andrew

No. Look at the error message - it's looking for
Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll. I don't know anything about the
library, but apparently it needs that DLL...

Note that using directives talk about namespaces, not assemblies - the
using directives you have in your file don't add references to
assemblies, so they're effectively irrelevant. It's the project
references which matter.
 
I've installed the "Microsoft Enterprise Library January 2006" edition and
I've found the ObjectBuider.dll there.
Finally... onto the next bug...

Thanks

regards,
Andrew
