Visual Studio 2022 - Run-time Exception System.BadImageFormatException

I had this problem in visual studio 2022 after taking an application that was originally using the .net 35 framework and change it to .net 4.8.


After this change, the application compiles without errors, but throws this error at runtime:


System.BadImageFormatException was unhandled Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in Unknown Module. Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'TimersXP.exe' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.


SOLUTION:


Change the APP.CONFIG file, leaving the <STARTUP> section with the 4.0 framework only. After that, I did a CLEAR on the project and a BUILD. And the app.config has been changed to:


BEFORE:

<startup>

    <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>

    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>

</startup>


LATER:

I removed the line <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>, which apparently forced the 2.0 framework to be used at runtime.


My startup looked like this and the problem was solved:


<startup>

    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.8"/>

</startup>



The article that helped me find the solution was this one: (Thanks 🙏)

How to change color according to cell value in Visual Foxpro grid.

This post teaches you how to get the effect shown in the image below using the GRID component of visual fox pro. Requires visual foxpro 9.0 SP2 I usually create a class for this, but here in the example I will do it in the simplest way, however, using a method inside the form. You need to create a blank form, add a GRID, a REFRESH button and add a table.  In my example I used a very basic table, called VALORES.DBF, with the VALOR field.  If the value is 1, I use one color, if it is 2, I use another and so on. My VALORES.DBF table is in the same directory where I am saving the FORM.  Creating the table CREATE TABLE values ​​(n(10,2) value) INSERT INTO values ​​(value) VALUES (1) INSERT INTO values ​​(value) VALUES (2) INSERT INTO values ​​(value) VALUES (3)  FORM PROPERTIES BINDCONTROLS = .F. DATASESSION = 1  INIT SELECT values LOCATE THISFORM.BINDCONTROLS = .T.  LOAD METHOD IF NOT FILE('values.dbf') SET MESSAGE TO MESSAGEBOX('Table VALORES.DBF is not available in 

How to deploy a printed pages control in the VFP to take an action after the report prints.

Isolved this issue by creating a public variable: PUBLIC _npagetotal _npagetotal = 0 Then, using the ReportListener component to control the reports, analyze the pagetotal property after the report runs.  If it returns <> 0, it means there was content in the report and if it returns 0 (zero), there was no content. */ control of printed pages _npagetotal = 0 LOCAL loreportlistener loreportlistener = CREATEOBJECT("ReportListener") loreportlistener.LISTENERTYPE = 0 loreportlistener.QUIETMODE = .T.
