Unable to load DLL PicTag

[DotNetFiver]

Hi, I've created a new Net core 3.1 project and pasted in some code behind a button click just to step through the code, the tag I tested in another app previously.

I added Corsinvest using Nuget console

I get the error here:

I'm using Visual Studio Preview 16.5 but I can use earlier stable version if required
Thanks in advance

Having the same issue here.
When I made a simple dotnet core Console application I didn't have this problem. Using VSCode

When I tried to make a WinForm application I get the same error as you using VStudio.

If you make a simple dotnet core console project you can copy the plctag.dll into your vstudio project and it works.

I have the same issue. VS2019, NuGet version of this assembly is 0.1.7. I've created standard WinForm application. Also, I've tried to put plctag.dll to the project folder. Nothing helped.

You need to put plctag.dll inside the /bin/Debug folder (next to the .exe that is built)

I'm running into this same issue with a .NET Core 3.1 Console project in VS2019, Win10. I've tried copy the different runtime versions of plctag.dll into the debug folder, changing the platform (x64, x86, Any CPU). I either get a BadImageFormatException (x86) or DllNotFoundException (x64). Please advise.

Update: I copied the plctag.dll from another project (https://github.com/libplctag/libplctag.NET) into the debug folder shown below and now it works:

Hi all,
sorry but I'm very busy working. In the coming weeks I will update the project with the new dll.

Best regards

VC++ redistributable x86 worked for me
Thanks,
