I have rebuilt my solution and got the following compilation error:

Error 9 'Could not load file or assembly 'ComponentArt.Web.UI, Version=2009.1.1819.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9bc9f846553156bb' or one of its dependencies. Invalid pointer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))' D:..\MyProj.Account\LC

The dll is in infra folder and is moved finaly to the bin folder of the output project (web-site).

Any productive ideas? what else should I check? It seems all other projects in this sln compiles.

Unless I get this error to soon. btw, what's LC (under "project" column) ?

c#
asp.net
componentart

I would check your licenses.licx file and ensure the version specified in there matches exactly with the DLL you are referencing.

We often remove everything after the version in this file due to similar problems.

And LC usually refers to the license compiler, lc.exe.

It was another broken reference that caused this error.

As I described in "this post regarding Telerik.Web.UI" it is probably due to a missing or misplaced dll file.

Ensure that there are no spaces in the path to your project...

I am using Windows 10 with Visual Studio Community 2019 and I was cloning a multi project solution as it was from a GIT repo. I was having this error along with all other dependencies in the solution with a metadata not found for xyz.dll error. Its path, inherited from GIT, had spaces like C:/repos/MY PROJECT NAME/ ...

I deleted it, cloned it again and make sure that its path contained no spaces like C:/repos/MY_PROJECT_NAME/ ...

That fixed my problem.
