Seems related to Strange exception coming out of OdbcConnection.Open() but I'm not sure.
I recently switched over to Win8 and hadn't run this app since. I'm using VS2012, but the projects have not been upgraded. The dump of the exception looks like this:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException:
The type initializer for 'System.Transactions.Diagnostics.DiagnosticTrace' threw an exception. --->
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize --->
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Uri' threw an exception. --->
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.UriParser' threw an exception. --->

App.config looks like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly> <!--For LLBLGen -->
<assemblyIdentity name="Npgsql" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="5d8b90d52f46fda7"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.11.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
I've tried rebuilding, to no avail.
Tried adding an empty section to app.config.
Looking at the manifest off the .exe in ILDASM, I found this, which looks odd:
.assembly zaacmdline
{
.custom instance void [mscorlib]System.Runtime.Versioning.TargetFrameworkAttribute::.ctor(string) = ( 01 00 00 01 00 54 0E 14 46 72 61 6D 65 77 6F 72 // .....T..Framewor
6B 44 69 73 70 6C 61 79 4E 61 6D 65 10 2E 4E 45 // kDisplayName..NE
54 20 46 72 61 6D 65 77 6F 72 6B 20 34 ) // T Framework 4
.custom instance void [mscorlib]System.Security.SecurityRulesAttribute::.ctor(valuetype [mscorlib]System.Security.SecurityRuleSet) = ( 01 00 01 00 00 )
.permissionset reqmin
= {[mscorlib]System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermissionAttribute = {property bool 'SkipVerification' = bool(true)}}
.hash algorithm 0x00008004
.ver 0:0:0:0
}
the TargetFrameworkAttribute is certainly fubar, compared to the working machine. How do I fix it?

The comment about seeing the link below should fix the problem. App's .exe file missing .NET TargetFramework, but only on clean builds
Basically: Delete C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\.NETFramework,Version=v4.0.AssemblyAttributes.cpp
(From comments above)
I had capitalization problems in my app.config file. Example: "connectionstrings" should be "connectionStrings". That seemed to solve the problem for me.
Hope this helped others.
Just Clear App.Config file and rebuild your project
App.Config should be like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>
</configuration>
