SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
 * You create a managed assembly in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
 * The assembly uses the System.Data.SqlXml namespace.
 * You create a native image from the managed assembly by using the Native Image Generator (Ngen.exe) tool.

In this scenario, when you run the assembly, the assembly may be dynamically rebased to a different address and reloaded. Therefore, you may experience slow performance.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the System.Data.SqlXml namespace contains an incorrect public key token in the .NET binding infrastructure (fusion) unification table. The public key token is changed to the ECMA public key token. However, the System.Data.SqlXml namespace still uses the Microsoft public key token.
