Article ID: 970510 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

When you run a managed application on a computer that has the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed, a TypeLoadException exception occurs and then you receive an error message that resembles the following:

Could not load type ‘type name’' from assembly ‘assembly name, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

This problem occurs when the application loads a specific generic type. Consider the following sample code:

    interface I<T>
    class A<T> : I<T>
    class B<T, U> : A<T>, I<U>
    class C : B<int,int>

In this situation, this problem occurs when the application loads class C.

Note This problem does not occur on earlier versions of the .NET Framework.
