+Summary: Can't use Type.GetType() with libraries with an "_" in their name
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Type.GetType() returns a null value if the specified type is defined in a
+library with a "_" in its name.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Build Foo.cs as a library with an "_" (ex: Foo_test.dll)
+Then use this library to build the executable
+
+// Library (Foo.cs)
+
+namespace Foo {
+    public class Bar {
+		private int num;
+    }
+}
+
+---------------------------------------
+// Main class (Main.cs)
+
+using System;
+using System.Reflection;
+using Foo;
+
+public class MainClass {
+	public static void Main() {
+		Bar b = new Bar();
+		string assemblyName = b.GetType().Assembly.FullName;
+		string typeName = b.GetType().FullName;
+
+		Type t = Type.GetType(String.Format("{0}, {1}", typeName, assemblyName));
+		Console.WriteLine(t.ToString());
+
+	}
+}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+A null reference exception because "t" is null.
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: A null value was found
+where an object instance was required
+in <0x000b6> .MainClass:Main ()
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Foo.Bar
+
+How often does this happen? 
+every time
+
+Additional Information:
+Will add an archive containing the test
