Scenario: I have windows form application, it was working fine before two days but after last two days it is giving me error:
Error While trying to run the project: could not load file or assembly 'Windows form application 1' or one of its dependencies
I have tried two days to find solutions but all in vain.
Could any body please help me or suggest me some suggestions.
I have just had this happen with two of my students using Visual Studio 2015 and C#. The students created a project and named it Joe's Automotive. The apostrophe in Joe's caused the issue.
The solution is to right click on the project, choose properties Under Application: Remove the apostrophe in the Assembly name
Example: Original Assembly name: Joe's Automotive Fixed Assembly name: Joes Automotive
Save and rebuild the project and it should run.
This error occurs when the assembly name matches a DLL name in the same folder. For example:
The application will fail to launch within Visual Studio due to the Test.dll in the same folder. Changing your projects Assembly Name will resolve the problem.
