 Additional Information: My opinion is that Mono works correctly here
 
 Exception under Mono seems logical to me. I am trying to serialize MyList
 class, that has no public constructor. But how is it possible to work under
 MS.NET? The reason must be, that MyList inherits from ArrayList.

+What version of .NET are you using? The xmlserialization in Whidbey is
+able to access private members, what upto 1.1 wasn't possible. Also
+XmlSerialization of collections depend on them implementing
+IEnumerable or the ICollection (See
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnexxml/html/xml01202003.asp).
+
+But In your example, you must check if the container field in MyList
+is getting reinstated (it should not in pre-2.0 .NET).
+
+Also as you didn't tag your MyList with something like:
+
+    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArray("Items")]
+    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItem("item",typeof(Item))]
+    public MyList Items;
+
+You are forcing the serializer to play guess-what games about what to
+serialize/de-serialize. Please show the saved xml, for a better diagnosis.
