When i create a C# project which use 'p4dn.dll' there isn't this error coming across.
this is my first ASP project, i also read the similar questions like "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41449/i-get-a-an-attempt-was-made-to-load-a-program-with-an-incorrect-format-error-o" and "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1648213/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-xxx-or-one-of-its-dependencies-an-attempt-was". They cannot address my problem.
how can I solve this problem?
There is now a menu option to run the 64bit version of IIS Express. From Visual Studio menu select Tools -> Options... -> Projects and Solutions -> Web Projects
Click the button for "Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects"
Go to Respective ==> Site Application Pool ,
Click on ==> Advance Settings
Change value of ==> "Enable 32-Bit Applications" from False to True
I had this same error message trying to run (debug) a 64-bit MVC site using IIS Express 8.0. I verified that all my projects were targetting the x64 Platform.
The problem was occurring because Visual Studio runs the 32-bit version of IIS Express. The only way I could get it to work was to run the 64-bit IIS Express by executing the following command manually.
"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe" /config:"U:\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config" /site:"Imaging.Web" /apppool:"Clr4IntegratedAppPool"
Then in your Visual Studio web project go to Properties, select "Use Custom Web Server", and enter the url to your site.
In order to Debug, go to debug > Attach to Process.. and then select your running IIS Express instance.
The Visual Studio team really should make this an option in the Project Properties.
-create a new IIS pool for your web site -Enable 32bit for this pool
Localization project on Asp.Net with C#
Project was working fine on Local Machine. After uploading on IIS and Web Server, it did not worked and Could not load file or assembly 'App_global.asax' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. was coming.
After changing Application Pool to V4.0 from v2.0 on IIS, the error got resolved.
