At the moment, I am running into a problem that I have not been able to solve with solutions on Google. Nothing has worked so far. When I compile Leap Motion code and import the Naoqi C# library, it works fine. When I actually try to connect to the robot with a line of code my program crashes. My program is set to build for any CPU. The .dlls are referenced for the Leap library and for the NaoQi library, and the .dlls are placed in the debug folder and the project folder for good measure. I have not clue what the problem is at this point.
Can someone here figure it out? I would be so happy to get this working.
Here is the first error message, it then asks me to break or continue:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in LeapCSharp.NET4.0.dll
Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'naoqi-dotnet4, Version=1.14.0.218, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b9b4e24bd78100d6' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
Either way, the program crashes. This is the text in the console log at this point:

I tried to use fuslogvw. Here are the two log reports for failed assemblies when fuslogvw is refreshed after the program crashes.

From the vendor’s documentation is pretty clear that NAO contains native C++ code and that it must be built to target x86 (32-bit code). You are however running your main EXE in 64-bit mode. The BadImageFormatException is the result, a 64-bit process cannot load assemblies that contain 32-bit native code.
Right-click your EXE project, Properties, Build tab. Change the Platform target to “x86”.
