SQL Server 2005 Msg 6505 Could not find Type in assembly
If you can register a CLR (Common Language Runtime) assembly successfully but can not create an external stored procedure referencing the registered CLR assembly and getting the following SQL Server 2005 error message:
Msg 6505, Level 16, State 1, Procedure myProcedure, Line 2
Could not find Type 'myCLRMethods' in assembly 'myCLRAssembly'.
You can solve your problem by using the class name of your assembly in the format [NamespaceName.ClassName]
Sample: We can use master database
use master
go
Then create the assembly in SQL Server 2005
Create assembly myCLRAssembly
from 'C:\WhidbeyProjects\myCLRAssembly\myCLRAssembly\bin\myCLRAssembly.dll'
At this point if you browse the Sys.Assemblies table you can see the CLR Assebly record created in Sys.Assemblies table.
Select * from Sys.Assemblies
Now, you can create the External Stored Procedure by running the below sql script.
Create Procedure myProcedure
as External Name myCLRAssembly.myCLRMethods.GetLuckyOne
The above statement may cause the following SQL Server 2005 error message
Msg 6505, Level 16, State 1, Procedure myProcedure, Line 2
Could not find Type 'myCLRMethods' in assembly 'myCLRAssembly'.
If you modify the Create Procedure sql statement as shown below, you will succeed in creating the procedure
Create Procedure myProcedure
as External Name myCLRAssembly.[myCLRAssembly.myCLRMethods].GetLuckyOne
Then you can execute your procedure by running
Exec myProcedure
