Hello,

I would like to write an app wich would compare the API changes between
different version of the runtime. I would do this by using reflection API
however when I tried to enumerate the types of the 1.0 mscorlib from 1.1 I
got an exception. later I found out that it is not possible to load and
enumerate the types of mscorlib other then the current version of the
runtime. Do you know any other way of doing reflection on different versions
of mscorlib at the same time?

Thanks,
Cris

I sugest you forget about Reflection and instead use the unmanaged
metadata COM API.

You could use a tool like vil at http://www.1bot.com. You could use
vil to dump all methods, classes, interfaces, etc. of each version of
mscorlib to a file, then do a diff on the files?
