----------------------------------

             Summary: ReflectionTypeLoadException
                 Key: AVRO-1981
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1981
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: csharp
            Reporter: Josh Steward
            Priority: Minor


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.

private Type FindType(string name,bool throwError)
{
//other code
foreach (Assembly assembly in assemblies)
                {
                    // Fix for Mono 3.0.10
                    if (assembly.FullName.StartsWith("MonoDevelop.NUnit"))
                        continue;

                    /*Added catch in case assembly contains unloadable types*/ 
                    try 
                    {
                        types = assembly.GetTypes();
                    } 
                    catch (ReflectionTypeLoadException ex)
                    {
                        continue;
                    }                    

//other code
}
