urgent: invalid format of a class library

[supernova122]

I am using VB.net 2008 and .net 2.0 framework. After I modified a class library in development environment, I build a particular class library in visual studio 2008 and dll file get generated in the bin directory.

I copied this dll file to the bin directory in production environment. But I got the following error. The .net framework in production is running ver 2.0. Please help. Thanks a lot.

Server Error in '/alp/m' Application.

If your original code was referencing .net1.1 then you try and load it as .net2.0 these sorts of thing can happen. You should start a new project then copy the code over and fix it from there.

As you mentioned, I got it resolved due to different .net framework version. Thanks.
