I'm trying to use the C# gdal bindings but I get an error in my C# code which says "Unable to load DLL 'gdal_wrap': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)".
I've had a look at the dependencies for gdal_csharp.dll and everything looks okay. Two things that stood out though were that the csharp dll is a 32 bit dll, while all the dependencies are for a 64 bit system (my machine has a 64 bit CPU). Also, the file ieshims.dll was listed as a dependency, but from what I gather, it isn't strictly necessary that it be installed.
I've tried installing the files manually via a zip file and also using the .msi installer for the gdal core libraries. I made sure to add the paths to the gdal executables to my system path.
I downloaded the binaries from here:
http://www.gisinternals.com/query.html?content=filelist&file=release-1800-x64-gdal-1-11-1-mapserver-6-4-1.zip
And I roughly followed this guide for installation instructions:

I'm using Visual Studio 2013, for which the binaries are available on the site above.

Get the package from NuGet and then you need to call static method
GdalConfiguration.ConfigureGdal()fromGdalConfiguration.cs/vbat startup to set process environmental variables. CallGdalConfiguration.ConfigureOgr()if you want to use OGR as well.
