Problems with retargetable assemblies?

  .NET Reflector Pro build 381 (and older versions too) can't decompile a specific assembly for me here. It decompiles to about 54% and then throws an exception.

  
  I could reproduce the problem with a minimal test case.
  
  First i created a new solution with a Visual C# Smart Device Project. I made a class library targetting Windows CE for .Net Compact Framework Version 2.0.
  
  The class had the following source code:
  

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  
  namespace Test1
  {
      public class Class1
      {
          public int Mul(int x, int y)
          {
              return x * y;
          }
  
          public string Now()
          {
              LinkedList<DateTime> t = new LinkedList<DateTime>();
              t.AddFirst(DateTime.Now);
              return t.Last.ToString();
          }
      }
  }
  

  
  I used LinkedList to force a reference to System assembly.
  
  I build the assembly and saved it to some other place.
  
  Then i created another solution, this time with a C# console project targeting desktop 2.0 .Net.
  
  I referenced the CF assembly built in the first step (Add reference, browse) and inserted the follwing code into Program.cs:
  

      class Program
      {
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              Test1.Class1 c = new Class1();
              Console.WriteLine(c.Mul(3, 4));
              Console.WriteLine(c.Now());
              Console.ReadLine();
          }
      }
  

  
  Then i selected "Coose assemblies to debug" from the Reflector menu. I checked the CF Test1 assembly built in the first step and now referenced from a desktop .Net project. And the decompilation choked with the same error as before, here is it again:
  
  System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load the assembly System ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 4849, offset:107 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 7118, offset:49 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 5074, offset:162 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 6397, offset:80 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 8626, offset:115 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 5750, offset:78 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 9723, offset:582 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 9657, offset:4583 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 9658, offset:2081 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 9751, offset:267 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 9647, offset:707 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 3936, offset:190 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 3893, offset:32 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 3934, offset:161 ---> SmartAssembly.SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException: SmartExceptionsCore.UnhandledException @ 3955, offset:37

  Cheers!
  
  I would really glad to be able to debug and step thru this dreaded assembly

  I've just tried it on the latest build, and I think someother fixes we've done have had the side effect of fixing this problem. Let me know if it works for you.
  
  Thanks,

  A quick test with build 484 worked now. I'll tell you if i still get any problems.
  
  Thanks very much!
