I discovered that after my application generates Telerik report
var result = new ReportProcessor().RenderReport("PDF", new InstanceReportSource { ReportDocument = new MyTelerikReport(data) }, null);
var stream = new MemoryStream(result.DocumentBytes);
return CreateHttpFileResponse("MyReport.pdf", stream, "application/pdf");
I am not able to get all types within CurrentDomain
var typesWithAttribute = (from a in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
from t in a.GetTypes() //error appears here
//some filtering logic
select t).ToList();
I am getting error
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
LoaderExceptions:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'DocumentFormat.OpenXml, Version=2.0.5022.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'DocumentFormat.OpenXml, Version=2.0.5022.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
After some investigation I found that assembly that fails to load: Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering, Version=8.0.14.311, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be and that assembly doesn't exists in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() before I generate report (I assume that assembly loaded dynamically by Telerik.Reporting, Version=8.0.14.311, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be).
I could filter out that assembly as I don't need any types from that but I am a bit worried about fact of having assemblies in domain that cannot be loaded - seems a bit wrong to me.
Could someone explain what there happens? Is it my issue or that is fault of 3rd party library that doesn't load all required assemblies?
The issue is not the assembly but the Type coming from a dependent assembly that has not been loaded.
If the GetTypes method is called on an assembly and a type in that assembly is dependent on a type in an assembly that has not been loaded (for example, if it derives from a type in the second assembly), a ReflectionTypeLoadException is thrown.
