Weird Serialization Problem

[Ot]

I have two different solutions that use xml serialization to create xml
from a given class.

The class is defined identically in both solutions. I copied the code for
both the class and the code that does the serialization from the first
solution to the second.

The first solution works just fine.

The second solution gets a weird error.

\\\
Dim mySerializer1 As XmlSerializer = New XmlSerializer(GetType(SpellList))

///

the above fails with a System.IO.FileNotFoundException occurred in
mscorlib.dll

Additional information: File or assembly name d5rqpgmn.dll, or one of its
dependencies, was not found.

The weird thing is that when I run it a second time, the name of the
missing dll changes to a different string of random characters. It doesn't
seem to repeat.

Any clues anyone?

Never Mind -- I found the difference between the two classes.

I had attempted to make the class more robust in my second solution and
inherited System.Collection and implemented Ilist. This apparently was the
problem. I am not sure why, but getting rid of the inheritance and
implements cleared things up.
