sharpSerializer Error CS0103 when webplayer selected in build settings

Question

I'm using an external library sharpSerializer in Unity 4.2.1f4 (latest), and I'm getting t$$anonymous$$s error message:

Assets/Scripts/Libraries/SharpSerializer/Advanced/PropertyProvider.cs(302,57): error CS0103: The name `Items' does not exist in the current context

But I'm only getting that message when webplayer is selected in the build settings. When a standard desktop build is selected, everyt$$anonymous$$ng compiles and I can run in-editor and build a standalone executable. SharpSerializer works just fine.

So there's obviously some sort of problem building the webplayer with t$$anonymous$$s library, but I don't even know where to start to fix t$$anonymous$$s problem. I want to be able to build for webplayer.

The specific file that's throwing the error is here in the library's repo:

http://sharpserializer.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#SharpSerializer.Library/Advanced/PropertyProvider.cs

The offending line is near the end of the file. I'm only using the contents of the SharpSerializer.Library folder.

I've just checked, and it seems there's a difference in implementation of Collection class between mscorlib used for web player and the one used for standalone. In standalone implementation you can find Items property, w$$anonymous$$le web player implementation doesn't contain it. Additionally, in Unity Mono Compatibility page, you can see that there's no Items property under Collection class.

I guess you can compile sharpserializer by yourself, changing the offending part of source code to

 for(int i=0; i<t$$anonymous$$s.Count; i++)
 {
     var item = t$$anonymous$$s[i];
     if (item.Type == type) return item;
 }

But I t$$anonymous$$nk you can encounter a lot more errors during compilation.

Another option would be considering other serialization libraries. Maybe JSON-based?
