+Summary: serialization of strings
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+The .Net
+System.Runtime.Serialization.SoapFormatterServices.GetSerializableMembers()
+function returns an empty MemberInfo[] and the mono one returns a
+MemberInfo[] array with one entry about the "length" field.
+I think the bug can be fixed if the "lenght" field is marked with the
+[NonSerialized] attribute.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+using System;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization;
+using System.Reflection;
+
+public class Test {
+
+	public static void Main() {
+		string str = "Hello World !!";
+
+		MemberInfo[] info = FormatterServices.GetSerializableMembers(str.GetType());
+
+		Console.WriteLine("info length: "+info.Length);
+	}
+}
+
+1. 
+2. 
+3. 
+
+Actual Results:
+the output is "info length: 1"
+
+
+Expected Results:
+the output should be "info length: 0"
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Allways
+
