I am writing a c# console application in Visual Studio 2017. I am currently importing a DLL using DLLImport from the same directory as my executable file.
Currently, my syntax is as follows.
[DllImport(@"mydll.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
However, I would like to move this DLL and all of its dependencies to a "libs" folder and let the application access the DLL and all of its dependencies from the folder. So I have moved all the files to the folder and edited the DLL import.
[DllImport(@"libs\mydll.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
I would like the program to be able to run as it was when I was simply using a relative path but I get the error
Unhandled Exception: System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
at ConsoleApp.Program.functionimportedfromDLL(params...)
at ConsoleApp.Program.Main(String[] args)
Why might this be the case and how can I fix it?
Thank you all in advance!!
