+Summary: [System.Collections.Generic.List<T>] IList.Add(object item) throws InvalidCastException when item is not of the correct type
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+List<T>'s implementation of IList.Add(object item) throws an InvalidCastException if object is not 
+of the correct type. However, under Microsoft's implementation of the same function, an 
+ArgumentException is thrown
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a List<string>
+2. Cast to an IList
+3. Call Add(1)
+
+Actual Results:
+An InvalidCastException is thrown
+
+Expected Results:
+An ArgumentException should be thrown
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+Expect a patch, momentarily.
