+Summary: System.Type.GetConstructor is not implemented as specified
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+A ConstructorInfo instance could not be obtained for a constructor without
+parametersdue to erroneous implementation of the following method in the
+System.Type class:
+
+public ConstructorInfo GetConstructor (
+        BindingFlags bindingAttr,
+        Binder binder,
+        CallingConventions callConvention, 
+        Type[] types,
+        ParameterModifier[] modifiers)
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Try to get a ConstructorInfo object like this:
+
+ConstructorInfo cInfo = type.GetConstructor (Type.EmptyTypes);
+
+Actual Results:
+
+An ArgumentNullException is thrown.
+
+Expected Results:
+
+A ConstructorInfo instance if everything else would have been fine.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Current implementation:
+
+#if NET_2_0
+		[ComVisible (true)]
+#endif
+    public ConstructorInfo GetConstructor (
+        BindingFlags bindingAttr,
+        Binder binder,
+        CallingConventions callConvention,					        Type[] types,
+        ParameterModifier[] modifiers) {
+			if (types == null)
+				throw new ArgumentNullException ("types");
+
+			foreach (Type t in types) {
+				if (t == null)
+					throw new ArgumentNullException ("types");
+			}
+
+			return GetConstructorImpl (bindingAttr, binder, callConvention, types,
+modifiers);
+		}
+
+Proper implementation:
+
+#if NET_2_0
+		[ComVisible (true)]
+#endif
+    public ConstructorInfo GetConstructor (
+        BindingFlags bindingAttr,
+        Binder binder,
+	CallingConventions callConvention,					        Type[] types,
+ParameterModifier[] modifiers) {
+			if (types == null)
+				throw new ArgumentNullException ("types");
+
+			return GetConstructorImpl (bindingAttr, binder, callConvention, types,
+modifiers);
+		}
