Logon to ActFramework fails since update to v16 [ Edited ]

[skoehli]

The following codes has worked well in earlier versions of Act!. Since Act! v16 it works no longer. Has something changed with v16?

    Private Sub LogonToAct()

        Dim ActFwk As New ActFramework

        If Not ActFwk.IsLoggedOn Then
            Try

                ActFwk.LogOn("C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\ACT\ACT Data\Databases\ACT2014Demo.PAD", "Chris Huffman", "")

            Catch ex As Exception

                Me.TextBox1.Text = ex.ToString

            End Try

        End If

    End Sub

The errormessage is:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Protexis.ֻ' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Matthew,

Thank you for the hint, because the machine is x64 architecture, I had to choose the compile options for x64 platform, then the plugin works fine.

What version of .Net and what processor is being targeted? Should be 4 and x86.
