+Summary: Coversion of IntPtr to void* causes error CS0030
+
+Description of Problem:
+  IntPtr cannot be casted to void* (see test case)
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. See test case
+
+using System;
+
+namespace IntPtr_Conv
+{
+  struct FooStruct
+  {
+    int x;
+  }
+
+  class Class1
+  {
+    static void Main(string[] args)
+    {
+      IntPtr[] pArray = new IntPtr[1]{IntPtr.Zero};
+
+      unsafe 
+      {
+        // mcs failed with cs0030
+        FooStruct* s = (FooStruct*)(pArray[0]);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+  mcs failed to compile. report cs0030: cannot convert 'void*' to 'FooStruct*'
+
+Expected Results:
+  mcs should compile properly since VS.Net Studio is compiling the code.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+  100%
