I am getting the following error when making a remoting call from a .Net 4 Application to a .Net 2 Application.
Unable to load type
System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[MyNamespace.MyClass,
MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null]] required for deserialization.
Does anyone know if this could be caused because List<T> is different in .Net 2 and .Net 4?
Also, MyClass has 3 string and 3 DateTime properties and is marked as [Serializable] but does not implement ISerializable
Here’s the Stack Trace:

Well, I tried everything, but nothing worked. This was launched from within a TFS Build Agent so debugging was not possible. In the end I have used Xml Serialization of the results to workaround the issue.
