Can not find GdPicture.NET.image.gdimgplug.64.dll.

[rdugre]

I am using an evaluation license for GdPicture.NET. I have version 8.1.0.1 and I am compiling with .NET 4.0. I have the GDPicture.NET.dll added as a reference in my project. Ohh, this is an ASP.NET MVC 3 project using VB.NET, and I am in my Windows 7 development environment with Visual Studio 2010.

When I run the following code:

Dim pic As New GdPicture.GdPictureImaging()
pic.SetLicenseNumber("MY LICENSE NUMBER")
Dim imageId As Integer = pic.CreateGdPictureImageFromStream(fileStream)

I get the following exception:

System.Exception was unhandled by user code
Message=Can not find GdPicture.NET.image.gdimgplug.64.dll. Please, copy last version of this dll into your application directory at: c:\windows\system32\inetsrv

Should I do what it says and copy that DLL into the folder mentioned in the exception? Why do I need to do that? Will I also need to do that on the Web servers that host the application?

I'm a newbie to this SDK, so please provide me the information I need to get going. Thank you.

Hi,

Just copy the GdPicture.NET.image.gdimgplug.64.dll in the same location as GdPicture.NET.dll. I suppose it can be found on the "Bin" folder of your project.

Kind regards,
