Hi, I¹m looking at fixing an incompatibility between .NET and Mono when it comes to Serialization. Bugzilla 11294 describes the situation but in brief it is a case that when .NET serializes something that has a TypeForwardedFrom attribute that information gets put into the serialized object, but mono does not. It appears that all mono does when it encounters that attribute it simply stores it away and nothing uses it. To emulate the .NET behavior that information needs to be accessible in metadata about the type and that information uses by the Serializers. I¹m trying to work out how the information captured by TypeForwardedFromAttribute.cs can be made available at runtime to the serializer. My knowledge of how mcs operates and what the contents of metadata are and how to access them is my roadblock. So any reading/code that I can be directed to would be a great help.
