could not load file or assembly

[Xyphos]

in my mod assembly, I'm referencing a .NET library not native to KSP, but when I run the mod, the debug output says it could not find, load file or assembly.
even coping the .NET dll to the mod folder fails.

any workarounds?

Assuming the name of the dll is:   nonNative.dll

In your AssemblyInfo.cs add the following:

[assembly: KSPAssemblyDependency("nonNative", 0, 0, 1)]

thanks, but I'm using VS2019 and for some reason, AssemblyInfo.cs is missing, targeting "net45" framework

Update: so as annoying as it is, I made a bone-headed move by creating the solution under the wrong platform (.NET standard instead of .NET framework)
and tried to fix it by editing the csproj file to correct the mistake, this in turn screwed my project up from the very start where certain options weren't available, disabled or otherwise unused.

sending the whole project to the recycle bin and starting over fixed the problem. thanks.

It's happened to me as well.  What I do is then create a new project, and copy over all my files, other than the csproj

@linuxgurugamer  Sorry to keep bugging, but my KSP.log now says:

[LOG 02:34:27.568] AssemblyLoader: Loading assemblies
[WRN 02:34:27.569] AssemblyLoader: Assembly 'RemotingTest' has not met dependency 'System.Runtime.Remoting' V0.0.1
[WRN 02:34:27.570] AssemblyLoader: Assembly 'RemotingTest' is missing 1 dependencies
[ERR 02:34:27.627] AssemblyLoader: Exception loading 'System.Runtime.Remoting': System.BadImageFormatException

 

also, in AssemblyInfo.cs

[assembly: KSPAssemblyDependency("System.Runtime.Remoting", 0, 0, 1)]

I'm starting to think there's no way to add a reference to System.Runtime.Remoting?

KSP log now says:

ADDON BINDER: Cannot resolve assembly: System.Runtime.Remoting

 

Edit: if not, I still have options:

1. Try a late-load wrapper with reflection (PITA)
2. Implement my own remoting methods (Lots of work)
