[Mono-list] System.Runtime.Serialization missing

[Abe Gillespie]

JSON.Net is packaged with three versions not counting SL: net, net20,
net35 (where "net" is the latest version of .Net - 4.0).  You might
need one version on the client and another version on the server.  If
this *is* the problem I would guess that the server is needing net35
where the client needs net.
