           Summary: PropertyInfo.GetValue() throws InvalidCastException
                    instead of TargetException when supplied invalid
                    argument
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.4.x
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: System
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com

According to
http://go-mono.org/docs/index.aspx?link=M%3aSystem.Reflection.PropertyInfo.GetValue(System.Object%2cSystem.Object[])

When PropertyInfo.GetValue(object, object[]) is supplied an instance via the
first argument that does not implement the reflected property, a
TargetException should be thrown.

When targetting Mono 2.0 (build with gmcs) on Mono 2.4.2.3 InvalidCastException
is thrown instead. 

I have not tested other versions of Mono

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile  the attached test case to a command-line exe and run.

gmcs -t:exe GetValueTestCase.cs
Actual Results:  
Progrma prints out

System.InvalidCastException

Expected Results:  
According to documentation, should print out

System.Reflection.TargetException

Running the program on Windows prints this.

When targetting  Mono 1.0 (with mcs instead of gmcs) the correct output is
seen.
