Thanks – this solved my problem too.

In my case I was using the SmartThreadPool library and this is using the overload you mention.

It actually fails to start threads in a random fashion when run on 3.5 without the service pack; no errors or warnings occur.

Hopefully this will save other people tearing their hair out!

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge and edperience on Web. It saved my day!

I am developing with Visual Studio 2008 with .NET 3.5 SP1 installed. The application is supposed to be installed on XP, Vista or Windiws 7 of both 32 and 64 bit machines without requiring .NET 3.5 SP1. The System.Threading.AutoResetEvent.WaitOne(int32) overload works happily on my development machine, as well as testing machine with 32 bit Windows. However on testing machine with 64 bit Windows I got the MissingMethodException. Your arficle provided exactly the right solution for my problem.;

Thanks for this article. It described the precise issue I was facing. Funny how the smallest one-off programs cause the biggest issues.

Hi. Thanks for writing about this. I encountered this problem today, search for it, and found your article.

I just wanted to add that technically what’s required to use this method is framework 2.0 SP2. If you have 3.5 SP1 installed, you already have 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 since they are prerequisites.

WaitOne() overloads…

Be careful using WaitOne in the System.Threading library. I got this error compiling against the .NET 2.0 framework without 3.5 installed. MptSession.cs(99,26): error CS1501: No overload for method ‘WaitOne’ takes ‘1′ arguments MptSession.cs(44…
