> In the ObjectCreator the call to FindType(name, throwError) can throw a ReflectionTypeLoadException during the call to assembly.GetTypes() if any of the types are not able to load, MSDN link below for ref. This effectively kills the entire deserialization process. I put in a simple workaround to just continue if this happens. In my particular case it was trying to load types from a devexpress test runner dll.
