From MSDN: “The TypeResolve event occurs when the common language runtime cannot determine the assembly that can create the requested type. This can happen if the type is defined in a dynamic assembly or the type is not defined in a dynamic assembly, but the runtime does not know which assembly has a type. The latter situation may occur when Type .. ::. GetType is called with a type name that does not match the assembly name. "
