+Summary: MS .NET serialization compatability
+
+Description of Problem:
+when serializing some objects from the System.Collections namespace in 
+ms.net platform, and then trying to deserialize on mono platform, the 
+process fails.
+the classes that fails are:
+
+System.Collections.CaseInsensitiveComparer
+System.Collections.CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider
+System.Collections.DictionaryEntry
+System.Collections.SortedList
+System.Collections.Stack
+System.Collections.BitArray
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+execute the next step on ms.net platform
+1. for each class above create an instance and serialize it
+
+execute the next step on mono platform
+1.for each xml, try to deserialize the object
+
+
+Actual Results:
+the deserializatino fails for these objects
+
+Expected Results:
+The serializatino should work fine, since mono should be compatible with 
+ms.net platform
+
+How often does this happen? 
+every time
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Soap serialization uses reflection to serialize the objects.
+mono implementation uses different data members than ms.net 
+implementation in some classes, and it causes the serialization to be 
+different.
