Hi All,

I cannot find a way to add the DeepZoomTools.dll to a WindowsForms application. The steps I followed are:

1) Create a new WindowsForm application

2) Add Reference to DeepZoomTools.dll found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Deep Zoom Composer

3) Add using Microsoft.DeepZoomTools; in Form1.cs

4) Click on Build WindowsFormsApplication

5) I get the error: "The type or namespace name 'DeepZoomTools' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Thanks in advance for your help,

Luis Nambiar

DeepZoom is for Silverlight; how can you use it with System.Windows.Forms? Not going to happen.

Check the version of the framework these dlls were compiled with. Looks like this is different from th .Net version you are using.

Hi Abhinav,

I think that the version is not the issue. The DeepZoomTool.dll is version 1.0 and was released in November 2010 by Microsoft. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

The DeepZoomTools.dll work perfectly when I add this as a reference in a Worker Role of a Windows Azure project.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Best regards,

Assemblies compiled for different versions of .NET Framework can work together; one problem is that DeepZoom is for Silverlight, not Forms...

If somebody has the same issue the solution is shown below.

Go to Project Properties and change the “Target framework” value from “.NET Framework 4 Client Profile” to “.NET Framework 4”.
