[Mono-list] About Serialization

Hello,

I was testing some stuff with BinaryFormatter and saw that there is a
problem when I serialize an array of structs of objects... something
like this:

[Serializable]
public class A {
	string s;
	public A (string s) { this.s = s; }
}

[Serializable]
public struct B {
	public A element;
}

public static void Main (string[] args) {
	B[] array = new B[10];
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
		array[i].element = new A("string");
	}
	// now serialize the array, it fails when serializing the elements
	// of the array (the size and other properties are good).
}

Can anybody tell me where resides the core of the array serialization?

I know that the problem is not with structs because if I serialize B it
works perfectly.


Regards,

    Pedro
