Problem with generic type subclass injection on Windows Phone 7.1 Platform

[grajdeanserghei]

Bug reproduction:

Class hierarchy :

public interface IEntity
{
void DoWork();
}

public interface IBase
{
    void Foo<A>() where A : IEntity;
}

public abstract class Base : IBase
{
    public abstract void Foo<A>() where A : IEntity;
}

public class Derivate : Base
{
    public override void Foo<A>()
    {
    }
}

Dependency registration:

IKernel Kernel = new StandardKernel();
Kernel.Bind().To();

// In next line an "System.MethodAccessException" exception is thrown
var instance = Kernel.Get< IBase>();

Bug description:
Code does not work ONLY on Windows Phone 7.5 platform, but works fine on Windows Phone 8. I didn't test it on other platforms.
Code does not work ONLY when generic type "A" is an interface.
My package version:

< package id="Ninject" version="3.0.1.10" targetFramework="wp71" />

Thank you guys for this great framework!

Unfortunatly the .NET Framework WP7.X itsself is very buggy when it comes
to reflection of types with generic methods. If I remember correctly I'd
expect

typeof(Derivate).GetMethods()

to throw. Seems like we have to find another workaround for the buggy WP
reflection implementation.

Thank you for quick reply. I expected something like this.

I will change my architecture. Unfortunately this is not first time when I change my applications because of bugs in Windows :(

All classes must be public on Windows Phone 7.1 when using reflection to access their methods.
