Forum: IronRuby 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 :'(

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.
