HI I am trying to run My unit test cases using Nunit Gui. But i am runnning

Bio.TestAutomation.Algorithms.Alignment.AlignmentBvtTestCases (TestFixtureSetUp):
System.TypeInitializationException : The type initializer for 'Bio.TestAutomation.Algorithms.Alignment.AlignmentBvtTestCases' threw an exception.
----> System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly 'Bio, Version=1.0.0.20816, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=13335e9abfbf69d0' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Error. Some time it works fine but other times i am running thorugh above error.

I am trying to run Bio.TestAutomation.dll which contains unit test cases and is internally refering Bio.dll.
Both Bio.TestAutomation.dll and Bio.dll will build in same directory.

Can somebody help me to resolve this issue.

you need to check if you are using the correctly signed version of the assembly. i am guessing the Bio.TestAutomation.dll references Bio.dll and both are available in the bin directory and/or in GAC.

Please have a look at how CLR loads the assembly.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yx7xezcf.aspx
please refer to Understanding The CLR Binder for your reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd727509.aspx

HI kashif,

Thanks for your reply..

Yes .. you are rite.. both BioTestAutomation dll references Bio.dll and both are in bin directory and are not in GAC, BioTestautomation.dll is not signed version of the assembly.


Thanks,
Shankar.
