.Net project compiles and runs in debug but...

I have a .Net project that builds and runs fine in debug mode

But when I compile and try and run the executeable... it doesn't run.

Says that there is a .Net 4.5.1 versus 4.5.2 issue?

Éric Moreau

exact error please? from the same computer?

is it possible that you have a solution with (at least) 2 projects (SendGridNG and SendGrid)? Check the properties of both (or all) projects to make sure they are all targeting the same version of the framework

Éric Moreau

you will find the target framework under the Application tab of the project properties

Eric...
SendGridNG is my app

SendGrid is an API Library I am using from a vendor

On my local machine... yes. it does compile correctly.

However... it does not run when I DBL-CLick on the EXE

Éric Moreau

can you change the targeted framework of your app for 4.5.2 before building the solution (and then try the .exe)?

Larry Brister

ASKER

If I set the Target Framework it builds fine
It actually runs in debug perfectly

But the exe is not actually running

Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 and try with your executable!

you may have to clean your solution before rebuilding to have it to work.

OK... one of the issues was the library I was referencing.
Reverting to 4.5 allowed to build with no errors.
BUT...
When I double click on the EXE... the form is NOT running

but isn't your library targeting 4.5.2? You would be better to have the app to target the same version.

>>When I double click on the EXE... the form is NOT running

Any exceptions? What is the behavior?

ASKER

Eric and Prakash...
The other machine in fact had a corrupted version of 4.5.2

I would like to award 400/100 to you guys if there are no objections
