Image Uploading in C# Emgu Open CV not working, giving an Exception every time I try and load

Question

Trying to upload an image into my image box and keep getting an exception, that breaks the code any ideas? (Type initialized Exception). This is the first time I have used the Emgu like this

       private void btnload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                input = new Image<Bgr, byte>(ofd.FileName).Resize(500, 500,INTER.CV_INTER_CUBIC, false);
                imageBox1.Image = input;
                gray = input.Convert<Gray, Byte>().PyrDown().PyrUp();
            }
            btnSet.Enabled = true;
        }

The Stack Trace surely has more info. Usually the most common problems are:

• EMGU and OpenCV DLL verisons: Check if you're using the correct 32 or 64 bit DLL's version like your project.
• EMGU version agains OpenCV version: Check the Stack Trace Message, you might find something saying "Unable to load DLL 'some DLL'"
  • If this is the case, check if the DLL's next to your EXE have the same version (number at the end of the file name)
• OpenCV DLL's Missing: Do not forget to copy OpenCV DLL's to the same folder of the EXE

Hope this helps, Cheers
