           Summary: Generic Interface Library: Could not load type from
                    assembly
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Compilers
           Version: 2.8.x
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: C#
        AssignedTo: msafar at novell.com

For experimental purposes, I am attempting to construct a binary search tree
library from which a BST may be instantiated to hold either unique-only or
redundant nodes (with a redundant node being one with a value equivalent to
another in the tree). For reusability, I have defined a single generic
interface, ITree, and two sub-interfaces: IUnique and IRedundant.

The library itself compiles successfully, but attempting to reference the
assembly while compiling another executable results in the following error:

error CS0011: Could not load type
'DllBest.ITree`3[T,N,DllBest.IRedundant`2[T,N]]' from assembly 'dllbest,
Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Compiling the executable with the actual source files for the library works,
though.

I've posted a question regarding this bug on Stack Overflow, here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4659485/generic-interface-library-could-not-load-type-from-assembly

This is the Github repository from which I'm working on the library:
https://github.com/dylon/DLL-BEST/tree/master/cs

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile the library
2. Attempt to reference it during the compilation of another assembly
3. The aforementioned error is thrown
Actual Results:  
The compiler errors with the message:

error CS0011: Could not load type
'DllBest.ITree`3[T,N,DllBest.IRedundant`2[T,N]]' from assembly 'dllbest,
Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Expected Results:  
The assembly should compile and be executable
