Most likely, this is a linker issue. You can workaround this in two ways:

1) Disable linking.
2) Include in your code static references to the constructors you want to call
through reflection. 

like this:

static bool workaround = false;


main () {
  if (workaround) {
    var _ = new StringConverter ();
  }
}

This will never be executed but will protect the constructors.
