Question

I am trying to get SWIG to work with Visual Studio and C#.

I downloaded swigwin-2.0.4.zip and converted the project to a VS 2010 project.

I am able to build the ‘class’ example. When I then try to run compiled build I get the error

    The type initializer for 'examplePINVOKE' threw an exception.

I haved googled the error, but have not found any suggestions on how to resolve it.

Hope somebody is able to help!

Thanks,

Christian

Answer 1

The solution for me was

• Move the used dll’s to the Release (or Debug) directory
• Run CorFlags /32Bit+ file.exe

where file.exe is the executable produced by building the code.
