Hi

I just downloaded the latest NCryptoki v.1.5.4.2 full package. Running the included example FullTestNDigitSign returns an error when trying to sign a text (or a PDF):

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

When running in VS debugger I get an error at line

DigitalSigner dsign = new DigitalSigner(p11dll);

----------

Could not load file or assembly 'NCryptoki, Version=1.5.3.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6a3e54934ab72177' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

----------

Do you have any hint what I can do to get the example running?

Thanks.

Yes, I'm on a 64bit 2008 server. I need a x86 application, so I compiled the sample for x86, referenced all 32bit dlls from the lib directory (which is also default in your sample) and called also a 32bit cryptoki.dll.

I'm still getting an error at line

DigitalSigner dsign = new DigitalSigner(p11dll);
----------
Could not load file or assembly 'NCryptoki, Version=1.5.3.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6a3e54934ab72177' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I do not understand why the program is trying to load v1.5.3.2 while v1.5.4.1 is referenced. But anyhow, adding an assembly binding in app.config resolved the conflict:

  <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
   <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="NCryptoki" publicKeyToken="6A3E54934AB72177" culture="neutral"/>
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.5.4.1" newVersion="1.5.4.1"/>
   </dependentAssembly>
  </assemblyBinding>
