Customer Impact
Customers using configurations which bind to the types
IList<T>andICollection<T>and try to add items to the produced collection objects will get exception tellingUnhandled exception. System.NotSupportedException: Collection was of a fixed size.. Also, binding using types implementIDictionary<,>interface (but not aDictionary<,>) will not work as expected. It will end up not adding the configuration data to that object. These issues are reported by R9 in the issue #77725 and IDictionary issue reported by other user in the issue #77246Testing
I spent enough time testing these cases manually and ensuring we are not missing any related cases. Also, I have added more tests to validate such fix and to ensure will not run into similar regressions in the future.
Risk
Medium, although there is some risk when touching the configuration code, but I spent enough time testing the change to mitigate the risk. The change is good enough to proceed with.
