BadImageFormatException when trying to load a DLL with System.Reflection

I have this function:

public void LoadPlugins()
        {
            foreach (FileInfo f in new DirectoryInfo(pDir).GetFiles())
            {
				if (f.Extension.ToLower() != ".dll")
					continue;
                try {
                    string path = f.FullName;
                    Assembly DLL = Assembly.LoadFile(path);
                    foreach (Type t in DLL.GetExportedTypes())
                    {
                        if (t.Equals(typeof(IPlugin)))
                        {
                            IPlugin plugin = (IPlugin)Activator.CreateInstance(t);
                            plugin.Initialize(prgm, players);
                            if (Plugins.ContainsKey(plugin.PluginName))
                            {
                                prgm.LogMessage("Duplicate plugin name detected: \"" + plugin.PluginName + "\"", LogLevel.Error);
                                continue;
                            }
                            Plugins.Add(plugin.PluginName, plugin);
                        }
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    prgm.LogMessage(e.Message, LogLevel.Error);
                }
            }
        }

It should load DLL's from the plugins folder into a dictionary of plugins, but the line:

Assembly DLL = Assembly.LoadFile(path);

keeps returning a BadImageFormatException. I have checked and the .net framework version is the same in both the dll and the loader, and they are both built for x86 architecture, I have tried rebuilding it just in case the one build had become corrupt, I have no idea why I continue to receive an error.
