System.TypeLoadException when generating migration in UWP app

[dontjee]

I'm generating a migration in my existing UWP app and I get a TypeLoad exception.

I have the following nuget packages installed for SQLite

"EntityFramework.Commands": "7.0.0-rc1-final",
"EntityFramework.SQLite": "7.0.0-rc1-final",

The full text of the error is

System.TypeLoadException: Could not find Windows Runtime type 'Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas.UI.Xaml.CanvasAnimatedControl'. ---> System.NotSupportedException: Types from custom Windows Runtime components are not supported in desktop applications.

If it helps, the CanvasAnimatedControl comes from the Win2D nuget package and is not local to the project.

@dontjee can you share a project that reproduces this? We should be resilient to having references to Win RT stuff.

[dontjee]

@rowanmiller Yup, this project reproduces it - https://www.dropbox.com/s/9olnjse1nvrbejp/EfReproApp.zip?dl=0

The error came up when I created a class that took ICanvasAnimatedControl or CanvasAnimatedControl in the constructor.

Thanks, we'll get someone to look at it

I suspect this is caused by calling GetParameters on the constructor.

#3752 also requires avoiding this line of code.
