How to fix NetworkScanner exception: System.TypeInitializationException?

ko414du4 · April 2017

Hello all,

I have been following the ABB tutorial PC SDK getting-started (http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/pcsdk/gettingstarted) on scanning controllers available on the network. However, NetworkScanner class keeps throwing the following exception:

My PC SDK version is 6.04. I am using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition; .Net framework: 4.6

I can't find any reference on how to fix this issue. Help please.. Thank you.

If you check the innerexception then you will read that you are missing the reference/assembly "RobotStudio.Services.RobApi". After adding this reference "RobotStudio.Services.RobApi.dll" it will work.

Always look at the inner exception

In my case was due to the fact that <configSections> was not the first child of <configuration>
