Unity 5.8: registration by convention "Inheritance security rules violated"

Question

I have updated Unity 4 container to Unity 5.8 but I have problem with registration by convention in this version. It completly doesn't work. Fresh project, installed following packages:

Install-Package Unity.Container -v 5.8.7
Install-Package Unity.RegistrationByConvention -v 2.1.7

super simple code:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        UnityContainer uc = new UnityContainer();

        uc.RegisterTypes(AllClasses.FromLoadedAssemblies(), (c) => WithMappings.FromMatchingInterface(c));
    }
}

and it gives exception

System.TypeLoadException: „Inheritance security rules violated while overriding member: 
Unity.RegistrationByConvention.Exceptions.DuplicateTypeMappingException.GetObjectData(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext)'. Security accessibility of the overriding method must match the security accessibility of the method being overriden.

I have no idea what is wrong, it used to work in previous version. Does any know how to use registration by convenion in new Unity?

Looking at this answer, this seems to be a problem with Unity.RegistrationByConvention. Their DuplicateTypeMappingException should have the SecurityCriticalAttribute on GetObjectData which is indeed present in System.Exception as stated in the exception you posted.

Meanwhile, I think it should suffice to only register your own types, not just everything from every library in the project.

yup, it was a problem in Unity.RegistrationByConvention, luckily older version (2.1.5) works ok. It is not always worth to update all packages :) – Andy Aug 22 '18 at 23:13
