Fail to load .dll in grasshopper component

Hi,

I am trying to load .dll file in grasshopper component. It fails to load in C# editor and compiled component.
The .dll contains only several methods calling native C++ functions.
I was using this .dll in simple console application but I do not understand why it is not working in Grasshopper.

Why I cannot load it?

error: Could not load file or assembly ‘MinkowskiWrapper, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (line: 369)

inside that .dll I have only this class:

Do you have minkowski.dll in the same folder as the wrapper DLL? Are all DLL’s 64-bit?

See my reply at Catching PINVOKE exception from loaded assembly it may help you as my plugin was suffering from dependency issues and as yours was working as a console app.
By the way… are you by any chance working on a nesting algorithm?

Solved. It was the problem of 64 bit. Once it is compiled on 64 it works well. Yes it is for nesting, glad that it runs now

Nice! Once I finish another project to visualize weather data I will come back to my nesting algo.
