I'm getting the error below when referencing an Autodesk assembly.  Is there a version issue with the mscorlib.dll file?  The SharpDevelop 2.0 "Add Reference GAC" dialog shows the version as 2.0.0.0, instead of 2.0.50727.42.  Is there a version conflict?  If so, how do I resolve it?

Any information would be appreciated.

2.0.50727.42 is the .NET runtime version, the .NET assemblies use 2.0.0.0 as version number.

I don't know what the problem is, but you might try SharpDevelop 2.1 - it uses Mono.Cecil instead of System.Reflection to load code-completion information from assemblies. System.Reflection is known to crash on some assemblies (e.g. obfuscated assemblies).
