+Summary: Formatters.Soap serialization of bool is different in MS.NET and MONO
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. write this file on OSX
+
+---------------------- begin file testBugSoap.cs
+
+using System;
+using System.IO;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap;
+
+namespace testSerializza1
+{
+   public class HelloWorld
+   {
+      public static void Main(string[] args)
+      {
+		if (args[0]=="save")
+		 salvalo("test" + args[1]);
+		if (args[0]=="load")
+		 caricalo("test" + args[1]);
+      }
+	  
+		public static void salvalo(string filename)
+		{
+			Stream myStream = null;
+			myStream  = new FileStream(filename, 
+FileMode.Create);
+			if (myStream != null)
+			{
+				SoapFormatter formatter = new 
+SoapFormatter();
+				//BinaryFormatter formatter = new 
+BinaryFormatter();
+				formatter.AssemblyFormat = 
+FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple;
+				bool test = true;
+				//Documento doc = new Documento(10,10);
+				formatter.Serialize(myStream, test);
+				Console.WriteLine("bool = " + 
+test.ToString());
+				myStream.Close();
+			}
+		}
+
+		public static void caricalo(string file)
+		{
+			string filename = "";
+			Stream myStream = null;
+
+			try
+			{
+				filename = file;
+				myStream = File.Open(file, FileMode.Open, 
+FileAccess.Read, FileShare.None);
+			}
+			catch (Exception ex)
+			{
+				myStream.Close();
+				Console.WriteLine("erroreOpen: " + 
+ex.Message);
+			}
+			try
+			{
+				
+				if (myStream != null)
+				{
+					Console.WriteLine("ho letto dal 
+file: " + filename);
+
+					SoapFormatter formatter = new 
+SoapFormatter();
+					//BinaryFormatter formatter = new 
+BinaryFormatter();
+
+					formatter.AssemblyFormat = 
+FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple;
+
+
+					bool test = (bool) 
+formatter.Deserialize(myStream);
+					Console.WriteLine("bool = " + 
+test.ToString());
+
+					myStream.Close();
+
+				}
+			} 
+			catch (Exception ex)
+			{
+				myStream.Close();
+				Console.WriteLine("error: " + ex.ToString
+());
+			}
+		}
+   } 
+}
+
+-------------------------- end of file    
+   
+
+2. compile it with
+mcs testBugSoap.cs -r:System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.dll
+
+3. serialize a bool with
+mono testBugSoap save MONO
+
+4. copy the program and the file "testMONO" on windows
+
+5. deserialize a bool on MS.NET:
+testBugSoap load MONO
+
+Actual Results:
+
+error: System.ArgumentNullException: Il valore non puņ essere null.

+
+
+Expected Results:
+True
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+viceversa works ok: Mono deserializes bool serialized with MS.NET
+
+looking at the xml file you'll see that MONO writes True instead of true 
+(first letter capitalized) this throws exception on MS.NET
