Deploying An Application that Uses microsoft.crm.sdk web service.

Question

I have used web services in the past and nothing special was required for deployment. As long as the application compiled and you could get to it through Visual Studio all was well. I am integrating a custom application with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and am receiving an error when I deploy the application as follows: Could not load file or assembly 'microsoft.crm.sdk' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

I don't know if this is a CRM issue or a web service issue.

Answer 2
