VSTS 2005 - using TFS SDK to write code on my x64 box
-
I was trying to follow a source sample to obtain the VSTS project list, but got the following System.BadImageFormatException on the library file [ Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll ].
===== Exception =====
System.BadImageFormatException was unhandled
Message="Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."
StackTrace:
at TfsApplication1.Program.Main(String[] args)
at System.AppDomain.nExecuteAssembly(Assembly assembly, String[] args)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.HostingProcess.HostProc.RunUsersAssembly()
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()
===== More findings =====
It appears that the library cannot be used on my x64 box, and the workaround is to change the target platform of my project to [ x86 platform ].
--> Right-click on the project
--> Properties
--> Build
--> Platform target: x86
