Assembly.GetType(...) fails with names starting with \u2028

[bignoncedric]

Assembly.GetType(...) fails when a name starts with the unicode character \u2028.

For example, the following program obfuscated with only the renamer and a seed = "12" will fail.

internal static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Do<MyClass1>();
        Do<MyClass2>();
        Do<MyClass3>();
        Do<MyClass4>();
        Do<MyClass5>();
        Do<MyClass6>();
        Do<MyClass7>();
        Do<MyClass8>();
        Do<MyClass9>();
    }

    public static void Do<T>()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Doing {0}", String.Concat(from c in typeof(T).Name
                                                        select String.Format(@"\u{0:x4}", (int)c)));
        var t = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType(typeof(T).FullName);
        if (t == null)
            throw new Exception("Type not found!!");
    }
}

internal sealed class MyClass1 { }
internal sealed class MyClass2 { }
internal sealed class MyClass3 { }
internal sealed class MyClass4 { }
internal sealed class MyClass5 { }
internal sealed class MyClass6 { }
internal sealed class MyClass7 { }
internal sealed class MyClass8 { }
internal sealed class MyClass9 { }

Maybe, you should remove the \u2028 character from the allowed characters for the renaming.

In most situations, you should exclude the classes from renaming if you are using their name/namespace. Note that if you reference it directly (i.e. typeof(MyClass1).Name), ConfuserEx would automatically exclude it.

Also, if having obfuscated names do not matter in your application, feel free to describe your situation so that I could help you.
