           Summary: Type.GetField(string, BindingFlags) appears to ignore
                    base classes when looking for fields, regardless of
                    the BindingFlags argument passed in.

In our product, I need to set a page's form using reflection.

Under .NET, I use the following code:

public static void SetRequest(Page page, HttpRequest request)
  {
    // Set the page's form through reflection.
    Type type = page.GetType();
    FieldInfo field = type.GetField("_request", BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.Instance);
    field.SetValue(page, request);
  }

This works fine under .NET.  Under Mono, the "_request" field is not found and
returned.

To debug, I tried using GetFields() to retrieve a list of all fields, printing
out the details of all items returned.  Under .Net, all fields, including those
of base classes are returned.  Under Mono, only the fields that are directly in
the Type returned from page.GetType()are returned.
