[Mono-dev] Please revert your changes.

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello Gert,

    The changes that you committed to Mono to add .NET 2.x signature
compatibility break the .NET 1.x signature compatibility.

    I have not reviewed the entire patch in detail but I know that at
least things like this are wrong:

namespace System.Reflection.Emit {
#if NET_2_0
	[ComVisible (true)]
	[ComDefaultInterface (typeof (_CustomAttributeBuilder))]
#endif
	[ClassInterface (ClassInterfaceType.None)]
	public class CustomAttributeBuilder : _CustomAttributeBuilder {
		ConstructorInfo ctor;
		byte[] data;

     The problem is that now on the 1.x profile you are inheriting from
_CustomAttributeBuilder which did not exist in 1.x, and which should not
be exposed in the 1.x profile.  

     The interface should not exist, and it should not implement the
interface.

     Until today I had assumed that you knew about this, but given this
new tidbit of information, I think we must review every one of your
older patches and ensure that you have not broken the 1.x profile like
this.

     Please fix this, or revert all of these changes.

Miguel.
