Deserializing JSON objects to POCO objects in Silverlight

I'm trying to deserialize some JSON objects in a Silverlight client, which are sent over to the client via SignalR.

These objects have been serialized using the TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.All settings.

The first problem is that you can't add a Class library project reference to the Silverlight one, so I have used the trick of creating a Silverlight Class library that contains a link to the POCO classes.

But then I get an error when deserializing, because the JSON string contains the full type including assembly (which is different). If I manipulate the JSON string and replace the assembly name, still get the same error.

These are the POCOs:

public abstract class MessageBase
{
    public Exception Exception { get; set; }
}    

public class AccessRCImported : MessageBase
{
    public DateTime Cob { get; set; }
}

This is the JSON string:

{"$type":"CS.RAR.ICE.Common.Messages.AccessRCImported, CS.RAR.ICE","Cob":"2012-08-01T00:00:00","Exception":null}

Which has been serialized by

var output = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(message,
                                                 new JsonSerializerSettings
                                                     {TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.All});
// Replace the assembly name
var result = output.Replace(", CS.RAR.ICE.Common", ", CS.RAR.ICE");
var ctx = ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<ServerHub>();
ctx.Clients.Notify(result);

Then on the Silverlight client, I'm doing

var message = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject< MessageBase>(onData, _serializerSettings);

And I get below error. Both the Silverlight app and the Silverlight Client library are targetting Silverlight 5.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
