Description

BUG:
Calling the GetTypeFromString(string, bool, bool) method in .NET CF 2.0 SP1 on Windows CE 4.2 raises a NotSupportedException if the supplied typeName parameter contains a comma (",") and both boolean values are "true", i.e. when specifying a type and the including assembly in the log4net XML configuration.
The exception stems from the overloaded Type.GetType method that takes three parameters. When using the two parameter Type.GetType method, everything works fine.

Steps to reproduce:
On the described environment configure e.g. an Appender and supply the assembly name in the "type" attribute.

PATCH:
The patch simply uses the two parameter GetType overload for all NETCF frameworks instead of only for NETCF_1_0.
