[Mono-list] System.Runtime.Serialization missing

[Abe Gillespie]

You've found a work-around, but for the health of the Mono project in
general this should be tracked down.  Also, Newtonsoft's JSON
serializer is so incredibly well baked that I hope I can urge you back
to using it.  In fact I've recently run into some WCF serialization
bugs (MS.Net, not Mono) that I categorically replaced all
runtime-provided serialization with JSON.Net.  It works a treat.

Now, about your issues, one thing I've run into with getting the
correct version of Sys.Run.Serialization linked in is Silverlight
assemblies (2.0.5.*) vs. the full runtime assemblies (3.x and 4.x).
Make sure your environments match the correct assembly versions on
both sides - for example, if you are in fact using Silverlight then
you need to drop in the Newtonsoft.Json.Silverlight.dll assembly and
not the Newtonsoft.Json.dll assembly.

A possible other issue is a bug in Mono that's currently affecting at
least some of the serialization infrastructure
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=669786 ... though for your
specific case I doubt this is the issue.  But, like I said, for the
health of Mono you'll hopefully investigate further.
