Type loading Issue and SP2

[Mark Dykun]

Hello All,

We have a application that heavily uses reflection. With pre sp2 all worked
well. I just installed sp2 and recieved a Type Load Error with the specific
text....

Could not load type System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.5000.0,
Culture=neutral, Public ....

This type is refrenced from one of our compilied assemblies. My first
assumption is that because SP2 only updates the device that there is a
difference between the versions in SP2 and Visual Studio.net 2003.

The second is that the typeloader cannot resolve the type and the policy for
compatibility is broken.

Any help around this issue is appreciated.

Mark,

Is the PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a? If so, then your assembly is
incorrectly linked against the desktop libraries. RTM and SP1 allowed this
to retarget (incorrectly) in some cases; SP2 prevents this. If the
PKT=969db8053d3322ac, then your assembly is correct, and I would look to
see if the libraries on the device are perhaps corrupted.
