PowerShell: Get Actual Error

I was having hard time to find the reason why I was not able to find a custom method in a .Net DLL.

Find your Assembly:


PS C:\vstsagent\A1\_work\r1\a\_DevOps_CI\Scripts> [appdomain]::currentdomain.getassemblies() | Where-Object FullName -Match "MyAssembly"



GAC    Version        Location

---    -------        --------

False  v4.0.30319     C:\vstsagent\A1\_work\r1\a\_DevOps_CI\Scripts\Tools\MyAssembly.dll




PS C:\vstsagent\A1\_work\r1\a\_DevOps_CI\Scripts> $a = [appdomain]::currentdomain.getassemblies() | Where-Object FullName -Match "MyAssembly"

PS C:\vstsagent\A1\_work\r1\a\_DevOps_CI\Scripts> $a



GAC    Version        Location

---    -------        --------

False  v4.0.30319     C:\vstsagent\A1\_work\r1\a\_DevOps_CI\Scripts\Tools\MyAssembly.dll


When I was trying to get the Types in the assembly, I was getting the exception:


PS C:\vstsagent\A1\_work\r1\a\_DevOps_CI\Scripts> $a.GetTypes()
Exception calling "GetTypes" with "0" argument(s): "Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the
LoaderExceptions property for more information."
At line:1 char:1
+ $a.GetTypes()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ReflectionTypeLoadException

I tried to get the actual exception, but I was not able to get it. Then I found following code which displayed the actual exception:


PS C:\vstsagent\A1\_work\r1\a\_DevOps_CI\Scripts> $x = $Error[0]
>> $x.Exception.GetBaseException().LoaderExceptions

fastboot device not deleted in Windows 10? Here is the fix

I was cleaning my closet and found my HTC Incredible S (which I had bought in 2011). I gave the phone some juice for few hours and booted it, surprisingly it was working :) I thought about rooting it and flashing with new rom in market. I searched xda fourm and found this  (Cynogen 13 based Rom for Incredible S). I started to flash it. but, my bootloader was still locked. I went to HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. but Fastboot was not able to detect my phone. After 3 hrs of internet searching I found this simple fix. I think this can work with all the android phones. you need to create a registry entry (below) and reboot the system(PC). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100] "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00 after the registry fix, it worked liked a charm. Thanks
