This problem can occur if a class tries to get value of a non-existent key in web config   For example  the class has a static variable ClientID  private static string ClientID   System Configuration ConfigurationSettings AppSettings  GoogleCalendarApplicationClientID   ToString      but the web config doesn t contain the  GoogleCalendarApplicationClientID  key  then the error will be thrown on any static function call or any class instance creation

A Type Initializer exception indicates that the type couldn t be created   This would occur typically right before your call to your method when you simply reference that class   Is the code you have here the complete text of your type   I would be looking for something like an assignment to fail   I see this a lot with getting app settings and things of that nature   static class RHelper          If this line of code failed  you d get this error      static string mySetting   Settings MySetting       You can also see this with static constructors for types   In any case  is there any more to this class

I had the same error but in my case it was caused by mismatch in platform target settings  One library was set specifically to x86 while the main application was set to  Any    and then I moved my development to an x64 laptop

I tried your code   CheckedListBox cb   new CheckedListBox    for  var i   1  i  lt  11  i      cb Items Add  Item     i  i   3    0    string fmt   RHelper FormatQuery cb   Console WriteLine fmt   Console ReadLine      It threw an exception at this line   foreach  DataRowView item in chekedListBox CheckedItems      Unable to cast object of type  System String  to type  System Data DataRowView     Maybe you are also facing the same kind of problem  Instead of casting to DataRowView  try making the following changes   foreach  var item in chekedListBox CheckedItems        ID   ID   item ToString       item      FieldName          Because items in CheckedListBox are of object type
