Answer 1

YOu are trying to use an x86 version of the dll instead of the x64 version or vice versa probably.

Answer 2

Are you developing on a 64bit machine for WSS3 or MOSS 2007? If so, you will run into these problems, and Microsofts recommendation is to switch to a 32bit machine for development, but you can still deploy to a 64bit machine with no issues.
