FindTypeRef and EnumTypeRefs
FindTypeRef and EnumTypeRefs
I am seeing different results from FindTypeRef and EnumTypeRefs. If for example I look for System.Object in a specific module I can always find it via EnumTypeRefs, but sometimes FindTypeRef fails while acessing through the same IMetaDataImport interface. Is this a bug or known restriction or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

- Check the resolution scope you are passing to FindTypeRef. Is it AssembyRef of mscorlib.dll? Try to log it form your app and compare it with output from "ildasm /met Your.dll /out=Your.il". Also check that there are not nasty surprises like 2 references to different versions of mscorlib.dll in the image you are openenig.
