I have noticed what whenever i enable TypeMock and need to use the System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform class i get an invalidoperationexception informing me that Instances of abstract classes cannot be created. It appears this is occuring deep in the .net system code. I can always fix this problem by unlinking the profiler (NCover) from TypeMock.

I had this problem with v 4.03 and the previous version. I have tried various versions of NCover with the same result. Also worth noting that this happens within Visual Studio and when run via MSBuild.

I'm not 100% that this is a bug, but it is repeatable and seems to be isolated to the compiled transforms only. Any thoughts?? :D

The full stack is as follows:

Wow, i just posted this and when i go back to the forums i see someone else beat me to it with the same issue ( I must be blind or didnt refresh my browser). :oops: As with the other post the problem simply occurs when doing a standard call to load on a XslCompiledTransform on an XSLT which would normally work absolutely fine.
