Generating XML serialization assemblies in x86 targetted mode

Question

Usually I have no problem ticking the box that generates serialization assemblies for my .Net code.

However, I just changed by platform target to 'x86' instead of 'Any CPU' to fix some problems when running on x64 architecture.

Now, I get the error that Trigger.XMLSerialization.dll references Trigger.dll [version=0.0.0.0 culture=neutral]

Is there a known fix to this?

Answer 1

Does it error if you use sgen directly at the command line?

Answer 2

Turns out it's a bug in the SQL Server CLR support for platform-targeted assemblies. No fix available :(
