I'm using the VS2017 extension version 9.3.0.217.
I went Main menu > .NET Reflector > Generate PDBs > (selected my target assembly) > Continue > Regenerate
Then I get this error message:
I reported it - but this is blocking my work, unfortunately, so I need a fix sooner.
Here is the stack trace reported in the Details window:
If it helps the target assembly is compiled from Delphi to .NET.

Then I get this error message:
"(my target assembly)" has not been regenerated because of the following exception:
"Specified cast is not valid"
Do you want to report this exception?

If it helps the target assembly is compiled from Delphi to .NET.
