If you use XML-RPC.NET please note the following bug.

If an array occurs in a position in an XML-RPC request or response where the type of its elements is not known AND one or more of its elements is a string specified without the <string> element, an exception is incorrectly thrown by the deserializer. The response below is an example of where the problem occurs.

The two string instances are in an array member of a struct and no type information is available to the serializer. (In this case the array should be parsed into an array of type Object[].)
