There isn't anything related to QuickOPC in the call stack, so QuickOPC isn't really involved in this error directly.

What us probably happening is that the software you are using is trying to load various assemblies, including QuickOPC (not sure why - that's probably not what it should be doing anyway), and in the process, it (also incorrectly) assumes that all dependant assemblies must be directly be loadable from the disk as well .

OpcNetApi is one of the dependant assemblies, and in order to reduce the amount of files needed with QuickOPC, it is not normally deployed as a separate assembly. It is embedded inside as a managed resource, and QuickOPC loads it when it needs it.

For possible workaround, deploy the dependant ("embedded") assemblies as separate files as well. See the bottom of this documentation article: opclabs.doc-that.com/files/onlinedocs/QuickOpc/2018.2/User%2...webframe.html#Assemblies2.html .

Best regards

I have a console application that uses EasyOpcClassic version 2018.2 5.53.405.1 for fetching OPC Alarms. I also use Avro Ipc version 1.8.3 (0.9.0.0) to perform some RPC calls to another server. When used together, this exception is thrown:
{"Could not load file or assembly 'OpcNetApi, Version=5.53.405.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6faddca41dacb409' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.":"OpcNetApi, Version=5.53.405.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6faddca41dacb409"}

The stacktrace is:

   at System.Threading.TimerQueueTimer.Fire()
   at System.Threading.TimerQueue.FireNextTimers()
   at System.Threading.TimerQueue.AppDomainTimerCallback()

More specifically, it happens when I call `Castle.Proxies.AvroProtocolCallbackProxy.getData()`.
Also, the code runs perfectly fine if I do not perform the above call. The call is an RPC request from an Avro client to an Avro Server.

The project uses .NET framework 4.6.1.
The strange bit is that Avro Ipc is unrelated to OPC, and I don't think QuickOpc packs OpcNetApi with itself.

Under the hood I can see that the assembly.GetTypes() call is being done on the assembly:
{OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassic, Version=5.53.405.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6faddca41dacb409}

And this is throwing the TypeLoadException
