How to solve error while creating SPsite Object in SharePoint

In this blog we will learn how to solve error while creating SPsite Object in SharePoint.

Let's take a simple scenario - If you are accessing your sharepoint Application through C# Console Application, and while creating SPsite Object , you get the following error

 

"The Web application at http://mysite/site could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application."

 

The sample piece of code that produces the error  

using (SPSite site = new SPSite(http://http://mysite/site))  -- Throws an exception
{
}

Resolution 

1. Ensure that you select 3.5 Net Framework in your visual studio environment.
2. Target of your Application  should be either 64 bit or any CPU  

Happy SharePointing :-)
