Q&A for SDK Deployment in C# Application

Q: Error: Cannot find RasterEdge namespace.
A: Right click on projects, and select properties. Under application tab, change target Framework to Frameworks other than Client Profile version. Rebuild you C#.NET application.
Q: Throwing exception of registered problem in run time. E.g. Image encoder GIF is not registered.
A: Add the line of code WorkRegistry.Reset(); before you use RasterEdge dlls' APIs. This code registers all RasterEdge dlls referenced to your C#.NET projects. This code only needs to run once.
If the problem persists, please check if the dll in your bin folder is blocked by your OS. Right click on the dlls, and select properties, then click unblock button.
Q: Error: load program with incorrect format.
A: This is often caused by incompatibility between platform target property and the dlls build. Right click on C#.NET projects and select properties. In build tab, select proper platform target.
Q: In ASP.NET project when testing web viewer control, error load program with incorrect format appears in Visual Studio.
A: This is a limitation of Visual studio. You can try to debug with x86 webviewer in x64 OS. Once done debugging, you can replace the x86 dlls in bin folder with x64 dlls. X64 dlls runs perfectly in real IIS.
Q: When testing web viewer control, I can't upload document successfully.
A: Don't add reference to SVGWebViewer.dll to your C# project. Make sure the Default page is the Default.aspx. Append /Default.aspx in the address bar if necessary.
