Loader Lock in VS 2008

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a VB.Net app that displays a tray icon from another thread. The thread model is STA. When I run the app in VS2008, I get a Loader Lock exception. I can turn it off from the Debug settings, but I do not feel that is a permanent solution. Will I be having issues in my final deployed app (either debug or release version)? Does any other workaround exist for this issue? Thanks in advance

Did you google that exception?

I found this:

1) Remove the references to the assemblies that are LoaderLocking. (I recommend writing down the path to the assembly so you don't forget it.)
2) Rebuild. The build will fail.
3) Add back the references to the assemblies you just removed.
4) Rebuild and re-run.

It apparently has something to do with one of the assemblies you're using. If I were you, I would add the assembly name when I google the exception.
