+Summary: Activator.CreateInstance on RunAndSave Dynamic assembly throws NotSupportedException
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Using Activator.CreateInstance on a type that was created in a dynamic
+assembly with RunAndSave throws NotSupportedException.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+AssemblyName wAsmName = new AssemblyName();
+wAsmName.Name = "MyAssembly";
+
+AssemblyBuilder wAsmBuilder =
+AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(wAsmName,AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave,"/some/path");
+
+string wAssemblyDll = "/some/path/MyAssembly.dll";
+
+ModuleBuilder wModuleBuilder =
+wAsmBuilder.DefineDynamicModule(wAssemblyDll,wAssemblyDll,false);
+
+TypeBuilder wTypeBuilder =
+wModuleBuilder.DefineType("MyType",(TypeAttributes)TypeAttributes.Public|TypeAttributes.Class);
+
+wTypeBuilder.DefineDefaultConstructor(MethodAttributes.Public);
+wTypeBuilder.CreateType();
+
+wAsmBuilder.Save(wAssemblyDll);
+
+Type[] wTypes = wAsmBuilder.GetTypes();
+int    i;
+for(i=0; i<wTypes.Length; i++)
+{
+  Type wType = wTypes[i];
+  try
+  {
+    Object wObject = Activator.CreateInstance(wType);
+  }
+  catch(Exception e)
+  {
+    // Fail
+  }
+}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+Throws NotSupportedException.
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Creates an instance of MyType (works fine under MS.NET)
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
