Note. Iam using third party component (Infragistics(UI dlls) and Entityspace(DAL dlls). I upgraded references also.

Was there any resolution to this issue? I'm having a similar problem.

We've seen this problem as well. In our case, it was caused by the requiredRuntime/supportedRuntime settings in the relevant .exe.config file specifying the .NET Framework 1.1 instead of 2.0.

We changed the lines in the relevant .exe.config file from:

<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="V1.1.4322" safemode="true" />
<supportedRuntime version="V1.1.4322" />
</startup>
</configuration>

to:

<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
</startup>
</configuration>

and the problem was cured.
