Hi,

I am getting this error when opening my project in the designer V 5.3.1 .
Error loading potential type converter assembly file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Solutions Design\LLBLGen Pro v5.3\TypeConverters\Flyware.TypeConverters.dll' (BadImageFormatException): This might be caused by the fact it's been compiled with a newer version of the .NET framework. Type converters in this assembly will be unavailable

I have upgraded the type converter project to .Net 4.7.1 from .Net 4.6.1 , but also tried to downgrade again to .Net 4.6.1 and I still get the same error.

What can be wrong ?.

Thanks

please attach the type converter (preferably with source) so we can check it. should be fine indeed, if you compile it against 4.7.1, I think windows update updates .net on windows to 4.8 nowadays

I have added the files.

Further information.

I use the 32 bit version of LLBLGen.

I can't reproduce it. I built it from scratch, placed it in the typeconverters folder in the installation folder, ran the x86 exe and it loaded the dll just fine. Also the one you shippped.

Not sure what it can be on your system btw. If anything the debug target in your csproj doesn't have x86 as target platform specified, so if you run your typeconverter build as debug then it might go wrong in 32bit

Any explicit reason to still use the 32bit route btw? Just curious simple_smile
