HI,
When i try to run amd debug my project i get following error.
- The specified module could not be found. -
This error is getting thrown on Application.Run(new Main())

From what it looks like it can not find some DLL that i have referenced.

If i create a new project with out those dll's everything works fine, but as
soon as i add them and start using them i get the same error.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

why is it new Main().. are you calling this from within your Main function
.. Something is not right...!!

static class Program
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Main());
}
}
}

Main() is the constructor of the Main form that comes up, It has only
InitializeComponent();

Thanks

I would suggest naming your Form something other than Main.. not a good idea
to name it same as entry point (even if it will work). Just my thought, I
will chk and see if this will work!! and I would post a feedback

I did create a sample app with One Form (called it Main) and added a button
and 2 textboxes, it opened fine . No issues. So I guess you can name it
Main, sounds very scary but works.. Now if you have usercontrols in the
application, and if they have dlls referenced, then a chain is broken some
where, so you have to use your output window to see what dlls are loading
and what are not.. Try and Debug, thats the way to solve this.

Pronlem was in the dll's used by the 3rd party dll's. Thye did not reference
them correctlly and it did not work for that reason.

Hope this helps someone
