Has anyone any idea what the following means:

Could not load type Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.StringType
from assembly Microsoft.VisualBasic

It allways happens in the same place in a cf app, but only on certain
dev machines. Runs fine on others

Thanks

There was another question in my previous post. Is it a TypeLoadException?

Cheers

Thing is if you try it with a different Ipaq you get a different error

Could this be the case of different devices = different versions? Check the
versions on each device:

If you find the one that it works on being pre-SP2 and the other on being
SP2 or SP3 then it is even more likely that you referencing a desktop
assembly somewhere (SP2 fixed a bug where the condition could be hidden):

hmm, same error even with SP3, it seems to be dependent on the machine if it
works or not though as they all work fine on my machine and not at all on
the other machine.

In fact even if I create a new CF project with one form and a msgbox I get

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in
System.Windows.Forms.dllAdditional information: Could not load type
Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxResult from assembly Microsoft.VisualBasic,
Version=7.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A.

This is a brand new clean install of xp (with all the service packs) and a
new install of Visual Studio.
 
Actually really strange error because the assembly:
Microsoft.VisualBasic,
Version=7.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A

is an Assembly from Full Framework. Try to remove this reference and add
CF.NET assembly version. It must have the following signature:

Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=7.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac

Sergey is right -
"Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=7.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac" is what included in NETCF SP3.

Excuse my ignorance but which reference am I looking at ?

Also this doesn't explain why it works fine on some dev machines and not
others
