hi,
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 on a computer having Windows 7 64 bit OS. Then I tried to download a WPF/MVVM application early developed in Visual Studio 2012, and Im having a lot of compiling and running issues. In detail, when I build the app, I get this error message
"Unknown build error, 'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Windows.Design.Extensibility, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)' MyAppView"
Searching on Google, I detected that issue would be caused by some Toolkit DLL's. So, I removed System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit.Design.4.0, System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit.Expression.Design and System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit.VisualStudio.Design from MyAppView references, and building solution worked. But when I tried to run, I got another error, ie
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll
Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'AppViewModel, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format"
Of course, same appl works correctly on Visual Studio 2010. Anymore, loading solution on Visual Studio 2013 installed on a 32 bit computer, also works.
So, is there any bug related to using VS2013 on a 64 bit computer? As the app is developed by a team, it would be better not to change project settings. Please help, thanks.
