The type initializer for 'Amazon.AWSConfigs' threw an exception

[swath24]

Hi all,

I am trying to connect to amazon dynamodb through .net. and ended up in this error.

An error has occurred. The type initializer for 'Amazon.AWSConfigs' threw an exception. I am attaching my code and config file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. >

Hi @swath24, thank you for letting us know you have a problem. Are you able to provide an InnerException for this or any other details?

I'm seeing a similar issue with the static constructor for Awsconfigs.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Amazon.CSMSection.get_CSMEnabled () Amazon.Util.CSMConfig.Configure (Amazon.CSMSection section) Amazon.Util.Internal.RootConfig..ctor () Amazon.AWSConfigs..cctor ()

I'm getting a similar error, but related to Amazon Pinpoint. Using .NET Core 2.1, Framework 4.7.1, on a Windows 2016 server. Does anyone know of a solution to fix this for Windows Server?
