TypeLoadException

[Valentin]

Hi,

I have developed a chess application and I have received 2 complaints:
after installing .NET CF SP2 on a PPC 2002 (one is ipaq 1910 the other
one I don't know) when they launch the game, they get this error

chess.exe
TypeLoadException
Application::Run+0xf
MainForm::Main+0xa

I've asked them to install other .NET CF applications and they get the
same error, so it seems there is a problem with .NET CF. I've asked
them to reinstall SP2, to soft reset the PPC ... nothing. The only
solution I can think of is to ask them to do a hard reset, however I
wish I could find a less radical solution. Do you have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Valentin Iliescu

I have had this problem too, have you had the user reinstall .NET CF SP2

Next time I will read your message before replying. Reinstalling sp2 does nothing.

By any chance is your app using SQLCE 2.0? If yes, then this could be the
cause of your problem. Ask the user to remove previous installation of
SQLCE2.0 and install the SQLCE 2.0 runtime again.

HTH,

Next time I will read your message before replying. Reinstalling sp2 does

nothing.

This usually indicates an assembly versioning problem. Your original
compiled code is set to use specific assemblies and if any have changed (and
don't specify proper backward compatible settings) then you will get this
error.



I would download the System.SR.dll (located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE) to the
directory where your program is and run the application again, at which
point you should get a more descriptive error.

Yes, I asked them to:
- reinstall SP2
- soft reset the PPC

but they have the same problem.

Thanks for your suggestions.

1. No, my application doesn't use SQL CE
2. I cannot reproduce the error ... It works fine on my PPC and since
the first version was released (march 2003) I have received no
messages with this kind of error from the end-users.
3. It seems to be a problem with .NET CF, not with my application. As
I said in the first post, they have installed other .NET CF
applications (one of them not developed by me) and they get the same
error.
