I'm trying to add the SimpleDataIndexer to my already
working Umbraco instalation, but after setting up .config files I get the
following exception when the application is started:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: An
exception occurred in the target of the invocation. --->
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception occurred in the type
initializer 'search. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An
exception occurred in the type initializer 'Examine.ExamineManager'. --->

I still have the same problem, any idea on how to solve it? I tried to use the SimpleDataIndexer on a clean Umbraco (with Runway) installation, but with no luck... please help!
After trying to make it work many, many times I came out with a work around. I created the index for my file by hand, that way I don't need to use Examine's configuration file. I followed this excellent Tutorial to make it work.
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I've had some success with the tutorial so will crack on with that and see where I get to. Do you schedule your index creation or are you running it manually on a periodic basis?
I'm a bit shocked at the lack of documentation and response on this issue though - it definitely doesn't work as it should and is a bit of a show stopper in my mind.
Hello Greyhound, please, tell me when you make it work! I will probably create the index when an user update or change the source file.Thanks!
Hello Slace, at first I didn't know that this was a bug, that's why I posted it here; but due to the lack of response, it probably is. I'll post it now in the issue tracker.
Examine - SimpleDataIndexer problem
Hello

My config/ExamineSettings.config file looks like:
<providers>
<!-- The next one is line 13 that throw excpetion -->
<add name="CustomIndexer" type="Examine.LuceneEngine.Providers.SimpleDataIndexer, Examine.LuceneEngine"
dataService="ExamineDemo.CustomDataService, ExamineDemo"
indexTypes="CustomData"
enableDefaultEventHandler="false"
runAsync="false"/>
</providers>
"CustomData" is defined inside config/ExamineIndex.config file.My Umbraco version is 4.5.4, Windows 7, IIS 7.5.
Any idea on what could be going on?

Jorge
Does the class defined as 'dataService' have a public constructor which takes 0 arguments?
Hello Slace, yes, it has.

Jorge,
I'm getting exactly the same error.
Have you found a way to get past this or any sensible documentation for real world examples that work in Umbraco?
I'm tearing my hair out, I've redone the farmcode example out 10 times checking and rechecking everything.

Hello Greyhound
The way to make it work is adding the class file in this case CustomDataService as a class library.
