           Summary: Type.IsAssignableFrom() can return wrong value for
                    generic parameter types
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.10.x
          Platform: 64bit
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: generics
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com

Created an attachment (id=427461)
 --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=427461)
VS2008 solution reproducing the bug

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16)
Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E)

In the short example (see the attachment) Type.IsAssignableFrom() works
incorrectly for a generic parameter type.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In VS2008 build a solution contained in the attached file.
2. Run ca1.exe in Windows 7.
3. Run ca1.exe in Ubuntu with Mono 2.10, e.g. mono ca1.exe. Don't recompile in
Mono, just use the binary produced by VS compiler.


Actual Results:  
In Windows 7 the program works correctly.
In Ubuntu under Mono 2.10, the program displays "Assignable=False", which is
wrong.

Expected Results:  
In both Windows 7 and Ubuntu the program should display "Assignable=True".

We at our company have a sophisticated system of C# code generation, allowing
us to smoothly transition between versions of our product. The failing
capability (Type.IsAssignableFrom()) is in the cornerstone of this system,
that's why it is so important to us to have this bug fixed.
