'DMS DataEntry.exe': Loaded 'D:\...\bin\Debug\PDFXCviewAx.dll', Binary was not built with debug information. 'DMS DataEntry.exe': Unloaded 'D:\...\bin\Debug\PDFXCviewAx.dll' A first chance exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dllthis is the activeX pdf viewer from Tracker Software (http://www.tracker-software.com/) i am using there. so i am thinking maybe that that viewer has something to do with my error.
Module Module1 > Sub Main() > Console.WriteLine(IntPtr.Size.ToString()) > Try > Dim em As System.Linq.ParallelExecutionMode = System.Linq.ParallelExecutionMode.Default > Catch ex As Exception > System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() > End Try > Console.ReadLine() > End Sub >End ModuleConsole write should be '4' if running in a 32-bit environment, '8' for 64-bit. The catch may give you a bit more information on the exact nature of the problem if in the IDE (check for inner exceptions)
>>A first chance exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll >>'DMS DataEntry.exe': Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\version.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file >>An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in DMS DataEntry.exe>>some research suggests that there is an issue with 64-bit version of System.Windows.Forms.dll. I looked where the file is comming from (in the properties) and it comes from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Windows.Forms.dll" - notice the "x86" - but so do most of the other dlls listed in the references.
Module Module1 >>> Sub Main() >>> Dim em As System.Linq.ParallelExecutionMode = System.Linq.ParallelExecutionMode.Default >>> End Sub >>>End ModuleAlso, as mentioned earlier, look at catching unhandled exceptions in code - that will give you more information on the exception details.
