    Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly 'inventory' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest. Please, I have tried the following 1. google alot and couldn't found the solution to this. 2. I uninstalled visual studio and reinstalled but couldn't work. 3. I was guessing that it may be incompatible with one of the software in my system, then i had to format my system, after which it worked once and reloading visual studio, the message occurred again. 4. I cleaned and rebuilt the solution but didn't work. But, when i changed my operating system to 64x bits it works fine but other applications didn't worked. So, i would like to format my system with 86x bits and in 86x bits, visual studio gave me the headache. Am using windows 7 ultimate and i have tried proffessional the error still occurred. Please help, my school project is about to crash.

      That is like trying to mend a car engine with a sledgehammer. Look at the message, it is telling you that it cannot find a file or assembly. Or, it cannot find some other file or assembly that "inventory" depends on. Look at your project and its settings and make sure that you have included all libraries, everything is using the same version of the .NET framework, and that the same version is installed on the target system.

        Please, how can i check if all libraries have been added? And how can add these libraries if anyone is missing?

          Only you know which libraries you are using; check your project settings and imported libraries.

            Ok, if any library is missing, this should have been solved after formatting my system and reinstalling visual studio. So, if formatting can't solve this issue, it means something is wrong which I have tried to figure out but couldn't. So, if you have anyway to play this out, please share. Thanks

              Not necessarily, as formatting your system was largely a waste of time and effort; reinstalling visual studio the same. You need to look at your project to see exactly which libraries/assemblies are needed to run your application, and ensure they are all present in the appropriate directories. Look also at the project settings to ensure that you are targeting the correct version of the .NET framework.
