Hi, when a Process is created from an 32bit image it’s not possible to use 64bits assemblies. When a process is created from 64bits image, it can’t load a 32bits DLL. It’s a Windows restriction

Will RunAs32Bit allow me to run a GUI based .net Application as a 32-bit application? I am trying to run something that keeps calling the 64bit odbc driver instead of correctly looking for the 32bit one.

I am somewhat new at C#, I used to VB. I have created an executable based on this code, but it fails. When it tries to Invoke the app ends out with an error:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.
at ConsoleApplication1.Program.Main(String[] args)

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The author assumed that those interested in this code snippet have at least the most basic C# programming knowledge. Here: knowing that no C# code will compile without the required using directives. I’ll leave it as an exercize for you to find out which System.* assemblies need to be referenced.

you have to add the appropriate using statements to the code to make it work:
using System.IO;
