IL .override question

I'm trying to resolve an issue where my application doesn't run after
obsfucation using dotfuscator.

I'm looking at the IL output from dotfuscator using reflector, and have
a query..

I've a class that implements a generic interface..

..class public abstract auto ansi beforefieldinit FactoryBase<class
CreatedClass>
extends [mscorlib]System.Object
implements App.IObjectFactory`1<!CreatedClass>
{...}

and it implements one of IObjectFactory's methods:

.method public hidebysig newslot virtual final instance string a(!
CreatedClass A_0) cil managed
{
.override App.IObjectFactory` ::FriendlyNameFor
}



My query is whether this second bit of IL is correct.... In trying to
reproduce the error in another project, I get the alternative:

..override App.IObjectFactory`<!CreatedClass>::FriendlyNameFo r

i.e. it's specifying the generic parameter.


Is either or both correct? I don't know enough IL and haven't yet found
a suitable google reference...

Yes, they've both valid. IL like that often depends on the source of the
class as the base being overridden. For example, deriving from a class in
the same assembly and overriding a method will generate different IL from
deriving from a class in a different assembly and overriding a method, even
if the two base classes are textually identical.

Could you detail "doesn't work".
