'Could not load file or assembly 'sapnco' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format
I have got this error while I am using SAP .NET Connector 3.0 x64. I couldn't find any solution at stackoverflow, so I d like to share here for others who stuck at same problem like me.
Solution 1:[1]
In VS 2017 I was able to resolve this by setting the Bitness to "x64" for IIS Express in the server section under the project web properties. I imagine this is similar to making the Use64BitIISExpress Regedit change in one of the other answers.

I had similar problem with x86
I set the Platform Target from "any" to "x86", in Project/Properties and fixed the problem.

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.8" />
</startup>
