TypeNameConverter Class
[Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) has been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]
The TypeNameConverter class uses the TypeUtil.GetTypeWithReflectionPermission method to convert from a string to a type, which does not work well in a hosted environment. In such cases, the assembly name is also required in addition to the type name (for example, add type=CustomSaml11SecurityTokenHandler, App_Code). To work around this issue, this class uses BuildManager.GetType to perform these conversions.
