hi All

Downloading the .net examples and try running them doesn't seem to work ,

l create a console project with

trying to run get the example on the website

l get

System.BadImageFormatException
  HResult=0x8007000B
  Message=Could not load file or assembly 'DeepSpeechClient, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

what proper way do l have to do thanks
