ImageMagick.NET Exception

Question

I am getting a FileNotFoundException when trying to use ImageMagick.NET, taken from the "bin" folder in the source at.. http://imagemagick.codeplex.com/releases/view/30302

The exact exception I get is...

"Could not load file or assembly 'ImageMagickNET.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found."

The ImageMagickNET.dll is in my output folder, so what other dependencies does it need?

Answer 1

Add a Reference to the 'ImageMagickNet.dll' found in the 'bin\ReleaseQ8' or 'bin\RealeaseQ16' folders, choose one of them.

After that you have to download the ImageMagick 6.5.3-10 version DLLs for Q8/Q16 because the ImageMagickNet was built to this version. (I found all versions at this link: http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/ For example, for Q16 download: ImageMagick-6.5.3-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe)

Then install it and copy all DLL files from 'C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.3-Q16' to your bin folder. Now you should be able to run it properly.
