Non integral types stored inside classes aren't read properly when using reflection

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Using XNA:
have a class such as:

        private class EntityNetworkData
        {
            public long Time;
            public Vector2 Position;

            public EntityNetworkData()
            {

            }

            public EntityNetworkData( long time, Vector2 position )
            {
                Time = time;
                Position = position;
            }
        };

Attempt to pass this class over the network using:
        public virtual void UpdateToNetwork(NetOutgoingMessage message)
        {
            //Sample data
            message.WriteAllFields(new EntityNetworkData(100, new Vector2(42, 42));   
        }

        public virtual networkData UpdateFromNetwork(NetIncomingMessage message, long gameTime)
        {
            var networkData = new EntityNetworkData();
            message.ReadAllFields(networkData);
            return networkData;
        }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: a class containing 100 and {42, 42}
Actual: a class with default values.

Please provide any additional information below.
I merged in the XNA extensions to the main project. This may or may not be 
neccessary, I'm not sure if Reflection would have picked up on the additional 
read\write functions otherwise.

Changing NetIncomingMessage::NetIncomingMessage() to 

        static NetIncomingMessage()
        {
            s_readMethods = new Dictionary<Type, MethodInfo>();
            MethodInfo[] methods = typeof(NetIncomingMessage).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);
            foreach (MethodInfo mi in methods)
            {
                if (mi.GetParameters().Length == 0 && mi.Name.StartsWith("Read", StringComparison.InvariantCulture) && mi.Name.Substring(4) == mi.ReturnType.Name)
                {                    
                    s_readMethods[mi.ReturnType] = mi;
                }
            }
        }

would make adding new types into the library easier.

Sigh, just found out that this doesn't play nicely with reading array types as 
you cant have [] in a name.
