MissingMethodException

[saima]

Hi,
I am having this MissingMethodException from a managed dll
which i am callign from a VB.NET application.
The thing is that One of the classes of the dll is working
fine.It gives no error while calling the methods .That
means i am placing the dll in right location.
But when i call the methods of a different class of the
dll it gives this MissingMethodException. The problem is
that my dll is a third party dll so i can not see the code
in it. What could be the solution to this problem.
I get no error on compile time so this means that the
mehtod names and paramters are the right type.Even if i
call the methods which take no parameters, this exception
occurs. Can anybody plz help!.
regards,Saima.

Are you sure the names aren't decorated? Are they publicly expoted? Have
you run depends.exe to see what exactly the DLL is expecting?

Hi Saima,

The following FAQ entry provides some common mistakes that can cause this
exception:

native DLL?

Hi Saima,

That is good to know, I will actually add that to the FAQ as well since
others may encounter a similar problem.
