+Summary: Type.GetType( Fully-Qualified Class Name) Not Working
+
+Description of Problem:
+Type.GetType("TopNamespace.SubNameSpace.ContainingClass,MyAssembly")
+does not work.  It returns a null.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile the C# program and run
+2. 
+3. 
+
+Actual Results:
+type is null
+
+Expected Results:
+type is not null
+
+How often does this happen? 
+consistently
+
+Additional Information:
+It works on .NET, but not mono.
+
+I have a test case below:
+
+// testGetType.cs - test 
+// Type.GetType("TopNamespace.SubNameSpace.ContainingClass,MyAssembly")
+using System;
+
+class TestGetType {
+	public static void Main(string[] args) {
+		Type type = Type.GetType
+("Mono.Data.ProviderFactory,Mono.Data");
+		if(type == null)
+			Console.WriteLine("type is null");
+		else
+			Console.WriteLine("type is not null");
+
+		object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
+	}
+}
