[Netron-graphlib] UDC's

Martin,

I have no time before tomorrow to look closer at the code you wrote but I
can tell you the kind of problem I often encountered in the past. 

Assume you have two identical classes, one inside your main application and
one put in a separate assembly. Next you reflect the latter one in your main
application...it's *not* the same class as the one in your main application
because the CLR takes also the signature of the assembly it belongs to. For
example, on trying things like

If typeof(myReflectedInstance)==Blabla.MyClass ...

This will return false! The way out it using interfaces, if you assign a
reflected class to an interface it will work. Netron uses this a lot, have a
look at the graph lib reflection or the way NAF imports plugins. The
disadvantage of this is that everything you want to use in your main app
needs to be defined (via interfaces). Well, not really a problem, seems a
good thing to have things under control when reflecting. I believe the
divergence between classes and reflected identical classes is related to the
way .Net is imposing security. There is a lot of stuff going on behind the
screen with respect to security, even if one doesn't use it.

Hope this helps you, if you cannot find a way out I'll look at it in the
weekend.

By the way, if you use Messenger you can reach me at

See you!
