[Mono-dev] TypeLoadException when remoting from Windows

[Jacob Ilsø Christensen]

Hi.

Ok, I finally managed to reproduce the issue. Attached are some test
files. The file named compile shows how to compile the stuff.

So, first launch TestImpl.exe and then Test.exe. What I experienced is
the following:

MS .NET -> MS.NET works
MS .NET -> Mono does not work (throws the exception I wrote about earlier)
Mono -> MS.NET works
Mono -> Mono works

If I comment out the event handler line in Test.cs all four cases
work. Can someone confirm this issue?

Thanks,
Jacob
