Re: Calling an internal constructor

Pete,

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to call this constructor from
your constructor in code (even through reflection) so that your class can
derive from that class correctly.

I would recommend going to the Product Feedback center and creating an
entry there regarding the issue. I'll definitely vote for it. The Product
Feedback center is located at (watch for line wrap):

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx

I'll also see what I can do about raising awareness at MS about this
issue.

Hope this helps.
