Question

I’m facing a strange behaviour. I have an derived implementation of an .NET XmlSerializer looking like this

public class ASerializer : XmlSerializer
{
    public ASerializer()
        : base( typeof ( A ) ) {}
}

While instanciating an instance of this class within a MSTest an exception with the following message is thrown:

Initialization method 'ASerializerTest.Initialize' threw exception. 
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'ASerializer' from assembly 'AAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'..

Running the Test from ReSharper Runner succeeds. Any ideas on this topic?

Thanks,
MacX

CPU-Selection showed “Mixed Platforms”. Switched it to “Any CPU”.
Works like a charm now.

Many Thanks to Jonathan Dickinson for the hint.
