+Seems like it is a bug in .NET 2.0 XmlSerializer. From MSDN:
+
+http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/182eeyhh.aspx
+"A class must have a default constructor to be serialized by
+XmlSerializer."
+
+As for 1.x you are wrong. .NET 1.1 raises an error which is correct.

+./79278.exe

+Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: SomeTest.Test
+cannot be serialized because it does not have a default public
+constructor.
