WPF designer:Could not load file or assembly"..."or one of its dependencies

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

The application runs without any problems but I cannot edit the application' main form.

I am getting the following error when I try to edit the main windows form.

Could not load file or assembly "Dmd.Image, Version=3.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The assembly Dmd.Image links to two unmanaged DLLs. I am assuming the problem is that the Designer cannot find one of these Dlls.

How can I get the Designer to see the unmanaged DLLs?

How can I find out what file it cannot find?
