I am sure hoping someone can help me out here as I have been banging my head on this one for a bit.

Recently I started working on building a module using the 4.9.1 starter kit templates for a Complied C# module.   For the UI I am designing my views to use Silverlight 2. I have taken the DAL from the starter kit template and encapsulated that code into a WCF Service module so the Silverlight applications and the compiled module can interact with the data through the same DAL object.  The problem I am having is that whenever it executes the static CreateObject call in the Dataprovider.cs file it's failing.

       private static void CreateProvider()
        {
            try
            {               
                objProvider = (DataProvider)DotNetNuke.Framework.Reflection.CreateObject("data", "ESoft.Modules.JBApplication", "WcfJukeAppDataServices");               
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                string errMsg;
                errMsg = "Create Provider Failed\n" + e.Message + "\n" + e.InnerException;
                EventLog.WriteEntry(sSource, errMsg, EventLogEntryType.Error);
            }       
        }
 

The Error that I see in the Eventlog is:

    Create Provider Failed

    Value cannot be null.

    Parameter name: type

I have tried various versions of the overload call to CreateObject, specifying (typename, namespace) or (typename, namespace, assemblyname) with similar results.  Anyone have any ideas I can try?
