ImageMagick.NET 'Could Not Load File or Assembly'

2.6k Views Asked by At

I'm trying to get set up with ImageMagick.NET with Visual Studio 2012. I've done much research into what seems to be a common issue whereby Visual Studio is not recognizing the dependencies of ImageMagick.NET (it recognizes the .NET DLL just fine judging by the auto complete). I took steps suggested in threads such as this:

http://imagemagick.codeplex.com/discussions/66874

whereby the .NET DLL is referenced within the project, making sure I take note I chose the 16-numbered build, then downloading the 6.5.3-10 versioned dependencies from the following link:

http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/

which installs the DLLs and places them automatically on the system path so I shouldn't theoretically have to copy the DLL's from the install directory into my project.... but this I also have done, in several different locations, including the project root, bin, the Debug and x86 directories, etc. I also made sure I was building for x86 machines, as that seems to be the only architecture supported by the DLL. Yet despite my measures, no dice! I would greatly appreciate if someone has any further insight into why this might be happening the way it is. I'm building a C# project and trying to just initialize the project within a Windows 8 grid app template.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I apologize in not being explicit about the error message I am receiving:

Exception: Thrown: "Could not load file or assembly 'ImageMagickNET.DLL' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found."
