[Ironruby-core] Type conversion error

[Tomas Matousek]

Yes, you probably have the assembly that defines the type loaded twice in different load contexts (Load vs LoadFrom).
That might happen if you load the assembly using a file path (require 'x.dll') instead of a full assembly name and then dependency loads it as well.

Subject: [Ironruby-core] Type conversion error

Has anyone run into type conversion errors where you get a message like:

can't convert PcapFileHandler::PcapFileWriter into PcapFileHandler::PcapFileWriter (TypeError)

when doing:

packetHandlerWrapper.PcapWriter = NetworkMiner::PacketHandlerWriter.clr_new("", someobj)

I am totally buggered up with this.  The packetHandlerWrapepr.PcapWriter is nil when I inspect it with ruby.

I have to solve this by tonight :'(
