I searched the similar problem on the website which seems a 32/64 bit thing. But I still can't figure it out even by the method provided such as toggling between 86/64 target platform
The software used here are Visual Studio 2010 and Matlab 2015a. I am testing on a very simple Matlab code in a single .m file which is supposed to plot a sine curve in a figure. There is no input or output for this program:
function [] = testPlot()
x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
%Create a line plot of the data.
figure % opens new figure window
plot(x,y)
It is deployed to dll named testPlotN using matlab NE builder (I guess the dll should be 64bit), which is planned to use in a c# web project. I can successfully test it on a c# console application (no matter the target platform is x86 or x64 seemingly)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.Arrays;
using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.Utility;
using testPlotN; //dll
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
testP obj = new testP();//class from dll
obj.testPlot();//matlab function
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
However when I test it in a c# web application, with the main file WebForm1.aspx
<%# Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication2.WebForm1" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">

</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
hello my name is<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"
ontextchanged="TextBox1_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="lbloutput" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<br />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And on click call for the button is in the file WebForm1.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.Arrays;
using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.Utility;
using testPlotN;
namespace WebApplication2
{
public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
testP obj = new testP();
obj.testPlot();
}
}
}
When I use choose any cpu by default as platform target when building, it shows the page perfectly without any problem

But when I click the button, the error came out
Server Error in '/' Application.

I have spent two days to debug this. But I still can't figure it out even by the method provided such as toggling between 86/64 target platform and setting of iis to enable 32 bit application.
Any clue would be much appreciated!
the problem was resolved in my case by enabling
Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for websites and projects
click on tools --> Options --> Projects and Solutions --> Web Projects
Click on the check box to enable Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for websites and projects
This is likely to do with the version of .NET that you are using and what the DLL was built in. Try adding the following to the configuration file (Web.Config):
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Also, the "Managed Pipeline" should be set to Classic in IIS
I had this same problem with my MatLab to .NET code. Here are two things to look at:
In Visual Studio, under Project Properties --> Build, set the Platform Target to x64. This will get it to work for testing in IIS Express.
When you deploy, make sure your application pool is set to 64bit only by changing Enable 32-Bit Applications to False.
This worked for me when I had this problem.

Seems IIS configs were corrupted. I deleted the site and it works fine now. I'm really confused how the file got corrupted however. It was fine when I left the office yesterday.
It has to do with working between different branches of the same project but I can't really say exactly what caused it.

Re-installed and all is good now, 2 hours of my life wasted!
I have an ASP.NET/MVC Web Role that is using the NHUnspell NuGet package. When I try to run it I get the following error message:
Could not load file or assembly 'Hunspellx64.dll' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
This is strange because I as far as I know, my Web Role project should not be trying to load the unmanaged Hunspellx64.dll at all. That should be handled by the managed NHUnspell DLL. That DLL is copied over to the /bin directory of the Web Role as a build step.
UPDATE: Thanks to Thomas's comment about WebActivator being outdated I was able to fix the issue. I am duplicating my reply comment to his accepted answer to make sure others who have this problem see the fix:
I had NHUnspell working successfully before this error started
occurring. What broke things was installing AttributeRouting with
NuGet. AttributeRouting drags in an old version of WebActivator
(1.0.0.0). Unfortunately NuGet does not suggest an update to it when
you execute an Update operation. You have to manually do the update
via the Package Manager Console as per this web page's instructions:
http://www.nuget.org/packages/WebActivator
Here is the rest of the original post before the fix was received:
I have scoured my project for direct references/linkages to Hunspellx64.dll including my NuGet packages configuration, packages.config, web.config, my References list, the raw Project File, etc. I can't find any direct reference to that DLL. Where else can I look or what else can I try to stop my project from trying to load that unmanaged DLL directly? Here is the ASP.NET error dump:

The WebActivator Start method doesn't handle unmanaged DLLs in the bin folder.
As you see in the code file:
https://bitbucket.org/dfowler/webactivator/src/4c558d93cf3a/WebActivator/PreApplicationStartCode.cs
public static void Start() {
lock (initLock) {
if (!hasInited) {
// Go through all the bin assemblies
foreach (var assemblyFile in GetAssemblyFiles()) {
var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyFile);
// Go through all the PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute attributes
// Note that this is *our* attribute, not the System.Web namesake
foreach (PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute preStartAttrib in assembly.GetCustomAttributes(
typeof(PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute),
inherit: false)) {
// If it asks to be called after global.asax App_Start, keep track of the method. Otherwise call it now
if (preStartAttrib.CallAfterGlobalAppStart && HostingEnvironment.IsHosted) {
attribsToCallAfterStart.Add(preStartAttrib);
}
else {
// Invoke the method that the attribute points to
preStartAttrib.InvokeMethod();
}
}
}
The Start() method loads all DLLs as assemblies to probe for its PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute. That fails for an unmanaged DLL because there is no assembly manifest.
It looks you are using a branch (dfolwler?) or a outdated version of WebActivator because the current version can handle this by ignoring all exceptions on assembly load.
private static IEnumerable<Assembly> Assemblies
{
get
{
if (_assemblies == null)
{
// Cache the list of relevant assemblies, since we need it for both Pre and Post
_assemblies = new List<Assembly>();
foreach (var assemblyFile in GetAssemblyFiles())
{
try
{
// Ignore assemblies we can't load. They could be native, etc...
_assemblies.Add(Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyFile));
}
catch
{
}
}
}
return _assemblies;
}
}
Update WebActivator to the most recent version.
