DLL 'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.DirectX\1.0.2902.0__31bf3856ad364e35\Microsoft.DirectX.dll' is attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing so can cause the application to hang.

How can I use it?

I am using 2008 and i have unchecked the loader Lock, then it says, Error in the Application.

The problem comes
Dim videoFile As Video = New Video("C:\Users\dlp\Downloads\Video\How to Initially Configure a Cisco Switch Tutorial - YouTube.mp4", False)

In reference to Rob Graham: Hmmm, I googled this "attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock" problem and found this answer in CodeProject!!!!!

Anyway, I had the error message on another third product DLL. My program had been compiling and working fine. Then I did a full build and got this error the next run. I restored all source code from backups and still received the error!

The real problem: During my testing of a module, I turned on Exception handling to wake up the debugger when the exception is first thrown. The next time I did a full compile, everything had this option set. The third party DLL was throwing this error, catching and handling it but when I turned on this exception option, then the debugger woke up.

The solution: set Exceptions back to normal.

Had I run the compiled program without the debugger I think it would have worked.
