Cannot locate nested CLR type message

I am porting some C# code that inherits from the BasicDesignerLoader class, and I get the following error:
error: Cannot locate nested CLR type "System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.BasicDesignerLoader+ReloadOptions" (simple name is "ReloadOptions").
The MSDN documentation is:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 80%29.aspxIs this a Cobra specific issue? Also, is there an easy workaround?

It's probably a bug in Cobra's reading of DLLs. But first remind me if you're using a release, or the latest source. (And if from source, do an update and install if you haven not in awhile.)
Unfortunately, this type of bug does not have a good workaround.
Let me know about the above.

Can we get this down to a small example? What assemblies do I need to reference?
use System.ComponentModel
use System.ComponentModel.Design
class A inherits System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.BasicDesignerLoader
pass
class P
def main
pass

Here's a basic repeat. I will test this code on my computer that has the latest from SVN (this computer just has the last release that was made).
- Code: Select all
%% args -ref:System.Design
use System.ComponentModel
use System.ComponentModel.Design
use System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization
class A inherits BasicDesignerLoader
pass
class Program
def main
pass

I confirmed it happens w/ the latest version of Cobra ( at least a few days old). as well.

Fixed. When reading DLLs, the compiler was not picking up non-public nested types.
