[Mono-list] BinaryFormatter Deserialize problem in Mono 1.0.5

[Lluis Sanchez]

Let me guess... you are compiling the sender.cs + message.cs into
sender.exe, and listener.cs + message.cs into listener.exe. If you are
compiling in this way, you are doing it wrong. If you want to share the
Message class, you must compile message.cs into a dll and reference the
same dll from both applications, because the assembly name is part of
the full type name, so "Message, sender" is not the same as "Message,
listener".
