Calling VB Functions From A .NET DLL and getting error "The type initializer for 'Module' threw an exception"

Hi everyone,

A colleague of mine has written several methods in VB that would allow me to communicate with a web service. This web service does some validation, and then pushes this data to a database. I'm trying to call these methods using LabVIEW's .NET functionality, but keep getting the same error no matter what method I try to call. I feel like I'm missing some little fundamental thing that is throwing everything off. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? The error simply says that the type initializer threw an exception.

Thanks,

Greg Sullivan
