1) Goto http://bugzilla.novell.com
2) Create a user account for yourself and login to bugzilla
3) Click on "New" from the top-grey-band
4) Choose "Mono" as Classification (Product-line)
5) Choose "Mono: Class libraries" as Product and click "Use this product"
6) Choose "System.Data" for Component and fill up the details and submit the report.

If Bugzilla is not working, you can send in your sample to the list. 

HTH,

V. Varadhan

> IIUC, in Mono's System.Data.DataSet, the default implementation is to get the serialization data either from XML or binary data.  Your sample would help us understand the default of MS.NET and fix the issue.
