Castle Windsor Dynamic Assembly Bug? - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I'm using Castle Windsor 3.1.0 in an ASP .NET 4 MVC application, which is giving me an exception in the Application_Start event when container.Register is called.
The exception is "The invoked member is not supported in a dynamic assembly.". Here's the stack trace:
[NotSupportedException: The invoked member is not supported in a dynamic assembly.]

Here's how I'm calling Register:
container.Register(Classes.FromThisAssembly().BasedOn<IController>().LifestyleTransient());
When I build the application in Debug mode, it's fine. When I build in Release mode, the exception above occurrs. I can't find anything about this error through Google. My suspicion is that some .NET 4 restrictions were introduced with how reflection is done on dynamic assemblies, which is being introduced in this situation as a Release build optimisation.
Any idea anyone?

Answer 1

Looks like you're getting a dynamic assembly being emitted (somehow). Try adding a filter to ignore dynamic assemblies. This should work:
container.Register(Classes.FromThisAssembly().Where(t => !t.Assembly.IsDynamic).BasedOn<IController>().LifestyleTransient());
