+Summary: Type.IsSerializable should be true for any kind of arrays
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+I think that Type.IsSerializable should be "true" for any kind of arrays.
+Even if the array items are not serializable.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. 
+
+using System;
+using System.Reflection;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization;
+
+public class NotSerializableClass: ISerializable {
+        public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext
+conte
+xt) {
+        }
+
+}
+
+public class MyClass {
+
+        public static void Main() {
+
+                try{
+
+
+
+                        Console.WriteLine("Type {0} is serialisable: {1}",
+typeo
+f(Int32[]), typeof(Int32[]).IsSerializable);
+                        Console.WriteLine("Type {0} is serialisable: {1}",
+typeo
+f(String[]), typeof(String[]).IsSerializable);
+                        Console.WriteLine("Type {0} is serialisable: {1}",
+typeo
+f(System.Xml.XmlText), typeof(System.Xml.XmlText).IsSerializable);
+                        Console.WriteLine("Type {0} is serialisable: {1}",
+typeo
+f(System.Xml.XmlText[]), typeof(System.Xml.XmlText[]).IsSerializable);
+                        Console.WriteLine("Type {0} is serialisable: {1}",
+typeo
+f(NotSerializableClass), typeof(NotSerializableClass).IsSerializable);
+                        Console.WriteLine("Type {0} is serialisable: {1}",
+typeo
+f(NotSerializableClass[]), typeof(NotSerializableClass[]).IsSerializable);
+                }
+                catch(SerializationException e){
+                        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
+                }
+
+        }
+}
+2. 
+3. 
+
+Actual Results:
+Type System.Int32[] is serialisable: False
+Type System.String[] is serialisable: False
+Type System.Xml.XmlText is serialisable: False
+Type System.Xml.XmlText[] is serialisable: False
+Type NotSerializableClass is serialisable: False
+Type NotSerializableClass[] is serialisable: False
+
+Expected Results:
+Type System.Int32[] is serialisable: True
+Type System.String[] is serialisable: True
+Type System.Xml.XmlText is serialisable: False
+Type System.Xml.XmlText[] is serialisable: True
+Type NotSerializableClass is serialisable: False
+Type NotSerializableClass[] is serialisable: True
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
