FileLoadException with .NET 4

Question

I'm trying to build an application using the OpenNURBS toolkit (see here) and I'm getting a FileLoadException with the following message while debugging:

Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.

The OpenNURBS toolkit is the only non-System assembly in the project at this point, so I know the problem is with that file. Where and what are these supposed configuration options? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to add the following config to the app.config file:

<configuration>
    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
    </startup>
</configuration>
