Hi All,
I was trying to read emirates id with card reader following this blog href="https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1265249/Read-Emirates-ID-in-a-Web-Application">Read Emirates ID in a Web Application. However I was getting an error
"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format" while running the console application at line "readerManager.EstablishContext()".
I tried all the solutions in internet but nothing helped me . Could anyone help me please . Any help will be really appreciated . Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace EIDSampleConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var model = Controller.CreateFromEIDReader();
            if (model.HasData)
            {
                Clipboard.SetText(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model));
            }
            else
                Clipboard.SetText("NO DATA");
        }
    }
}

That error usually suggests you're trying to load a 32-bit assembly in a 64-bit application, or vice-versa.

Have you googled the error and gone through the usual causes of this problem?

Member 12926744 4-Nov-19 5:10am

Tried everything on google but nothing could solve the problem .

Check your application settings: if your app runs as a 32 bit app, it can't load 64 bit EXE or DLL assemblies, and you will get the error: equally, you will get the same problem trying to load a 32 bit assembly into a 64 bit app.

Look at the tool bar at the top of the VS page: beside the "Debug / Release" drop down is the "Platforms" selector - try changing that via the "Environment manager" drop down selection. If you find a version that works, you can then check if a different version is available for your prefered platform.
