With .net Type.GetType seems to only load types that are in the corlib =
or in the running assembly, while mono's will load any type that is in =
the is in assembly in MONO_PATH.
eg
using System;
public class Driver{
public static void Main(){
//type will be null in .net System.Uri is in System.dll
// but won't on mono
Type type =3D Type.GetType("System.Uri");
}
}
