[Mono-list] Security exception using 2.10 Evaluator with .Net

[Bruce McKenzie]

I recently saw the announcement of mono 2.10 which included the Mono C#
Compiler Service which seemed very relevant to a project under development.
We are using Visual Studio and .Net 4.0 (and eventually will want to use
this with Silverlight)

I downloaded and installed mono 2.10 (a great experience - thank you) and
then created a simple Windows console app in Visual Studio 2010. I added
Mono.CSharp to the references and the main program contains just a single
line


using Mono.CSharp;

namespace TestMono
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var result = Evaluator.Evaluate("34 + 56;");
        }
    }
}

This compiled without a problem but when executed it raises an exception
when the line is executed. 

The exception is a TypeInitializationException and appears to occur when the
Mono.CSharp.dll assembly is loaded The inner exception complains about the
security of the type Location in the dll

{"Method 'Mono.CSharp.Location.ToString()' is security transparent, but is a
member of a 
 security critical type.":"Mono.CSharp.Location.ToString()"}


The full details of the exception are:

System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled
  Message=The type initializer for 'Mono.CSharp.Evaluator' threw an
exception.
  Source=Mono.CSharp
  TypeName=Mono.CSharp.Evaluator
  StackTrace:
       at Mono.CSharp.Evaluator.Evaluate(String input)

  InnerException: System.TypeLoadException
       Message=Method 'Mono.CSharp.Location.ToString()' is security

       Source=Mono.CSharp
       TypeName=Mono.CSharp.Location.ToString()
       StackTrace:
            at Mono.CSharp.Evaluator..cctor()
       InnerException: 


Can anyone shed any light on why this exception occurs?
Is it valid to mix mono and .Net 4.0 dlls in the manner I am attempting?

Thanks in advance
Bruce
