           Summary: Remoting fails if there are two copies of the same
                    assembly and an interface is used
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: System
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
        ReportedBy: johannes at jroith.de
         QAContact: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
          Found By: ---


Remoting will crash (invalid cast exception) when the following setup is used:

1. A process runs an Asp.Net Server and the server talks back to the process
through remoting. (the asp.net could presumably also run from an independent
xsp server.)

2. An interface is used and implemented by the server. The interface is
contained in a separate assembly Shared.dll

3. Shared.dll is put in the asp.net "Bin" directory and an exact copy of it is
also on the MONO_PATH, which is also the directory that the "server" process"
lives in.

4. The crash will happen only if the MONO_PATH contains the second copy of the
assembly that is used by the server.


I know this bug report is not very precise, but I don't have time to make a
test case currently, sorry. I might provide one later.
