[Mono-list] Issue in CaseInsensitiveComparer

[Massimo Perga]

Hello All,
  I'm re-using a DLL created using Microsoft .NET SDK which allows me to
read a certain file format. During the serialization process I got the
following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException:
Field "m_compareInfo" not found in class

I've checked in Mono sources and there isn't such a field.

- Is it planned to be added ?
- If not, can I give you my contribute to Mono project in order to fix this
issue ?

In the latter case, please contact me (to my e-mail address) and give me the
references of people who are currently working on serialization.

Thanks,
Regards,
  Max
