I've seen lots of first-time users of MWF, getting stuck with the uninformative:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI ---> System.Reflection .TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invoca tion. ---> System.NotSupportedException: Either image format is unknown or you d on't have the required libraries for this format. in <0x0014a> System.Drawing.GDIPlus:CheckStatus (Status status) ... What normally means that libgdiplus isn't finding one of the native decoding libraries. I do think that it would be better to give a more detailed message that tells exactly which library is missing or didn't like the bitmap stream. Comments?
