Answer 1

BadImageFormat Exception is almost always a problem between a 32bit dll trying to load up a 64bit dll or a DLL or executable is loaded as a 64-bit assembly, but it contains 32-bit features or resources.

Try compiling your application down to x86 or vice versa and let me know how that works

Answer 2

I resolved this issue by removig the respective DLL from the bin folder of my asp.net web project.

Thanks and regards,

Answer 3

I resolved this by setting the Enable 32-Bit applications option to True in the Advanced Settings of the application pool which the site used.
