In DevForce 2009, the signature for this (in IdeaBlade.core.dll) was:
 
public  http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/Default.aspx?Target=code://IdeaBlade.Core:5.2.3.1:287b5094865421c0/IdeaBlade.Core.DynamicTypeInfo/.ctor%28System.Type%29 - DynamicTypeInfo ( http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/Default.aspx?Target=code://mscorlib:2.0.0.0:b77a5c561934e089/System.Type - Type  type)
but in DevForce 2010 it's:
 
internal http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/Default.aspx?Target=code://IdeaBlade.Core.SL:6.0.1.0:287b5094865421c0/IdeaBlade.Core.DynamicTypeInfo/.ctor%28System.Type%29 - DynamicTypeInfo ( http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/Default.aspx?Target=code://mscorlib:2.0.5.0:7cec85d7bea7798e/System.Type - Type type)
 
I'm getting compiler failures (obviously) with:
 
Error 13 'IdeaBlade.Core.DynamicTypeInfo' does not contain a constructor that takes 1 arguments.
 
Why was this changed to Internal?  I was using some of your sample TypeHelper code which calls this and I can't find any mention of this being a breaking change in any release docs.

You should be able to replace that with:

DynamicTypeInfo.GetTypeInfo(Type type)
 
We changed the API to improve performance by caching previously looked up Types.  Sorry this missed the release notes - it had been marked as internal use only, although it was referenced from Prism Explorer.
