           Summary: VB.NET Late binding fails with ByRef output 2-
                    dimensional array parameters.
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: SVN
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: misc

We are migrating some code from VB 6.0 to VB.NET under VS2005 to mono.

We found a problem with late binding in which the invocation of a method with a
ByRef output parameter whose type is a bidimensional array will fail.

This is a test case that works in MS .NET implementation:

-------------------------------------------------

Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On

Module TestModule
    Public Class StrangeClass
        Sub TheFunc(ByRef output(,) As Double)
            output(0, 0) = 1.0
        End Sub
    End Class

    Sub Main()
        Dim o As Object
        o = New StrangeClass
        Dim data(1, 1) As Double

        o.TheFunc(data)
    End Sub
End Module

-------------------------------------------------

This, however, when run on SVN mono under Windows produces the following
output:

-------------------------------------------------

The limited amount of debugging that I've been able to do seems to suggest that
Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinder.ReorderArgumentArray() is not
actually prepared to handle this case and will try to do something with the
parameter as a 1-dimensional array, triggering the issue at
System.Array.GetValue().
