ReflectionUtils.GetTypeConverter NullReferenceException when target type does not have a TypeConverter

[GoogleCodeExporter]

ReflectionUtils.GetTypeConverter() throw exception when the target
type does not have a TypeConverter attribute.

Reproduction steps:
Call an endpoint returning a type containing a generic list member (eg 
SampleClass { public List<int> PropertyCausingCrash { get; set; }; } ) from 
a SilverLight application.

Resolution:
Adding "if (typeConverterAttribute == null) return null;" before the return 
statement in ReflectionUtils.GetTypeConverter [Util/ReflectionUtils:685] 
fixes this issue & allows for deserialisation to List<*> instead of 
ArrayCollection within Silverlight.
