Can't create IServiceProvider instance

Hello,
I developed a Reflector.NET add-in few years ago. It transforms .NET assemblies in native unmanaged C++ (can be used for embedded system - http://crossnet.codeplex.com/).

The most efficient workflow is to use the command line API. To be able to access the Reflector API (mostly IAssemblyManager instance and ITranslaterManager) I need to create an IServiceProvider instance.

That worked in the past, but with the more recent version of Reflector.NET, this line is now throwing an exception:
typeof(Reflector.IPackage).Assembly.GetTypes().

Here is the TypeLoadException:
{"Could not load type 'Invalid_Token.0x02003FFF' from assembly 'Reflector, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=18ca6bb8dd6a03c3'.":"Invalid_Token.0x02003FFF"}

Because of this I can't find and create the IServiceProvider implementation. Is there another way to get the IServiceProvider implementation that I could use?

Thanks!
Olivier

    Rather than Reflecting across the assembly (which is going to find two types that implement IServiceProvider), you could new an instance of ApplicationManager.
                IServiceProvider sp = new Reflector.ApplicationManager(null);
            IAssemblyManager am = (IAssemblyManager)sp.GetService(typeof(IAssemblyManager));
            ITranslatorManager tm = (ITranslatorManager)sp.GetService(typeof(ITranslatorManager));

    That worked! Thank you!
    In the past, Reflector types were obfuscated so I could not create the ApplicationManager directly, but now it is possible. Great!
