Constructing Mock<DerivedControl>.Object throws TypeLoadException

[andrewimcclement]

Describe the Bug

Given an internal class DerivedControl inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.Control, constructing new Mock<DerivedControl>().Object throws ArgumentException, wrapping TypeLoadException. I cannot reproduce this issue without using System.WIndows.Forms.Control.

I am not certain if this is a bug in Castle.Core, but thought I would ask here first.

Steps to Reproduce

Full code with additional examples can be found at https://github.com/andrewimcclement/MoqInternalsVisibleToIssue.

This test (in Production.Tests.csproj) passes on .NET Framework 4.8 but fails on .NET 6.0 & .NET 8.0.

using NUnit.Framework;
using Moq;

namespace Production.Tests;

public class DerivedControl : Control {}

internal class InternalsVisibleToTests
{
    [Test]
    public void FailsOnNetCore()
    {
        var obj = new Mock<DerivedControl>();
        Assert.That(() => obj.Object, Throws.Nothing);
    }
}

Expected Behavior

Given this passes on .NET Framework 4.8, I would expect this to pass (or understand why System.Windows.Forms.Control is special

Exception with Stack Trace

.NET 8.0 stack trace: (.NET 6.0 stack trace is similar)

System.ArgumentException : Type to mock (Production.InternalDerivedControl) must be an interface, a delegate, or a non-sealed, non-static class.

Note that InternalDerivedControl is a non-sealed, non-static class, so even if this behaviour is correct, the error message seems inaccurate.
Also, looking at the source code of System.Windows.Forms.Control, I cannot see any relevant change to internal virtual void NotifyValidationResult

Version Info

Moq 4.20.70 used (implicitly using Castle.Core 5.1.1).

Additional information

I hit this issue while trying to upgrade some test projects from .NET Framework to .NET 8.

Have you set the <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms> when using .NET6/8 as documented?

Yes - see https://github.com/andrewimcclement/MoqInternalsVisibleToIssue/blob/cd273f348e2edf7ab301dfa452fece060c85bff8/Production/Production.csproj#L8 and https://github.com/andrewimcclement/MoqInternalsVisibleToIssue/blob/cd273f348e2edf7ab301dfa452fece060c85bff8/Production.Tests/Production.Tests.csproj#L8.
