.NET 4 ABB exception ?

Robot Controller

I have tried a couple of compiler options, but I can’t get rid of this one…

2011-01-12 15:24:26,523 WARN [1] {xyz.Rap.RapMachine.Discovery} Failed to load Abb robots during discovery
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for ‘ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Internal.NetworkScanner’ threw an exception. —> System.IO.FileLoadException: Mixed mode assembly is built against version ‘v2.0.50727’ of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.

Suggestions anyone?

This is apparently not related to ABB. This happens when using the ABB dlls inside a project using rev. 4 of the framework. Downgrading to 3.5 works fine.

This might however be fixable by ABB by recompiling the dll’s using some special options, I haven’t spend any time looking for these options though.

I’m having the same issue. Would prefer not to downgrade to 4. Any other solutions out there?

Thanks,

Found an answer…put this in your app config file:

That actually worked like a charm, however the 64bit issue remains.

Hi,

which version of Visual Studio do you use?

PC-SDK 5.60 uses the .NET Framework 4.5, so that at least Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 should be used for developing.
