Hi

Im compiling some code at runtime then loading the assembly into the current appdomain, however when i then try to do Type.GetType it cant find the type...

Here is how i compile the code...

public static Assembly CompileCode(string code)
    {
        Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider();
        ICodeCompiler compiler = provider.CreateCompiler();
        CompilerParameters compilerparams = new CompilerParameters();
        compilerparams.GenerateExecutable = false;
        compilerparams.GenerateInMemory = false;

        foreach (Assembly assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies())
        {
            try
            {
                string location = assembly.Location;
                if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(location))
                {
                    compilerparams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(location);
                }
            }
            catch (NotSupportedException)
            {
                // this happens for dynamic assemblies, so just ignore it. 
            }
        } 
        CompilerResults results =
           compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(compilerparams, code);
        if (results.Errors.HasErrors)
        {
            StringBuilder errors = new StringBuilder("Compiler Errors :\r\n");
            foreach (CompilerError error in results.Errors)
            {
                errors.AppendFormat("Line {0},{1}\t: {2}\n",
                       error.Line, error.Column, error.ErrorText);
            }
            throw new Exception(errors.ToString());
        }
        else
        {
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load(results.CompiledAssembly.GetName());
            return results.CompiledAssembly;
        }
    }

This bit fails after getting the type from the compiled assembly just fine, it does not seem to be able to find it using Type.GetType....

Assembly assem = RuntimeCodeCompiler.CompileCode(code);
string typeName = 
      String.Format("Peverel.AppFramework.Web.GenCode.ObjectDataSourceProxy_{0}",
        safeTypeName);



Type t = assem.GetType(typeName); //This works just fine..
Type doesntWork = Type.GetType(t.AssemblyQualifiedName);
Type doesntWork2 = Type.GetType(t.Name);
