Here are the errors I am getting when initially loading Castle Project 2.0 binaries:

This is a bug in the .NET Framework - or the assembly is indeed invalid.

SharpDevelop 2.1 will use a custom assembly reader (Mono.Cecil) instead of System.Reflection and should work better.

I had a quick look at this problem and can reproduce it in SharpDevelop 2.0. Adding a reference to the Castle.Facilities.NHibernateIntegration.dll assembly in SharpDevelop 2.1 gives a Cecil error:

Error loading code-completion information for Castle.Facilities.NHibernateIntegration from Castle.Facilities.NHibernateIntegration.dll:

Visual Studio Express works and you can see code completion for this assembly, including the SessionDelegate class. Reflector also seems to work with this assembly. Not sure what they are using to load the assembly to avoid this problem, unless they are just absorbing the error and carrying on.

Both Visual Studio and Reflector have their own assembly readers. Unfortunately we cannot ignore the error - using Reflection, it is impossible to get the list of types in the assembly if one type throws an exception.

Apparently there really is something strange in the assembly. You should send it to Jb Evain (the Cecil developer), maybe he can fix Cecil to ignore that kind of error.

Whilst writing and running a unit test for Mono.Cecil, I noticed that the Castle.Facilities.NHibernateIntegration.dll assembly is a bit odd, it has references to the .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 versions of mscorlib and System.Data. I have no idea how they managed to do that. It's not something you can do using MSBuild or Csc.exe directly. So the NHibernateIntegration assembly looks invalid to me.

 
I suggest you use the .NET 1.1 Castle binaries instead, they can be loaded by SharpDevelop2 without any problems. The .NET 1.1 binaries should use the same version of the .NET framework as your main executable so they should work with just .NET 2.0 installed.

Hi,

It looks like it's not a problem from Cecil (which can read both assemblies).

Cecil is reading the assemblies correctly, yes. The problem is that the Castle.Facilities.NHibernateIntegration assembly has odd public keys for System.Data and mscorlib (versions 1.0.5). The public key is "00000000000000000400000000000000" which is what Cecil returns and Microsoft's ILDAsm returns. If you try to create the AssemblyName with this key you get the exception.

I have a similar problem just using the NHibernate dlls themselves.

Error loading code-completion information for NHibernate from C:\Formsoft

You can grab the dll here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nhibernate/nhibernate-1.0.2.0.zip?download

This is the same problem, the public keys for the references to System, mscorlib, System.Data and System.Xml have an odd value of 00000000000000000400000000000000

The only difference is that you can add a reference to NHibernate with SharpDevelop 2.0 and it seems to work. It does not work with SharpDevelop 2.1. 

The problem has been fixed in SharpDevelop 2.1.0.2408.
