[MonoDevelop] Failing to create an external process object

[Petar Dodev]

Hi!

I'm writing an addin for MonoDevelop and I want to create an external
process object using

     editorProcess =
(EditorProcess)Runtime.ProcessService.CreateExternalProcessObject
(typeof(EditorProcess), false);

where EditorProcess is a class from the addin's assembly:

    [AddinDependency ("MonoDevelop.DesignerSupport")]
    public class EditorProcess : RemoteDesignerProcess {...}

The method fails to load the class from the assembly throwing the following
exception:

openSUSE 12.1 x86_64, MonoDevelop 3.1, Mono 2.10.6

I've tried removing addin-dependencies, running the addin on different
platforms, started a new bare-bones addin, but I get the same problem.
I don't know what to try next. Please, help!

Regards,
Petar
