VisualBasic error in C# project

I am getting this error when trying to open a form. It cant find:

microsoft.visualbasic.PowerPacks.Vs. Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral

The weird thing is, that it says Visual Basic, and I am using C#. All the other forms open fine, but not this one.

The fact that an assembly happens to include "visual basic" in it's name doesn't mean it's specific to VB. All VB code, as well as C# code, (and some other languages as well) all compile down to the same intermediate language (IL) code. This idea is to encompass the ".NET languages" which, while they have a different syntax and higher level goals and intentions, have a common lower level implementation. You can use any (well, technically not any, but almost any) .NET dll from either C# or VB.

In this particular case your code is referring (possibly indirectly) to a particular .NET assembly called "microsoft.visualbasic.PowerPacks"; consequently you need to have access to that assembly for your program to run.
