+Summary: assignement to const does not result in proper error but in exception
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+assignment to a const results in an exception instead of generating CS0131
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Compile the following code
+
+//should generate (according to o'reilly:programming c#)
+//error CS0131: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable,
+property or indexer
+class Values {
+	static void Main () {
+		const int myInt = 1;
+		
+		myInt = 2;
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+Exception caught by the compiler while compiling:
+   Block that caused the problem begin at: CS0131.cs: (4)
+                     Block being compiled: [CS0131.cs: (4),CS0131.cs: (8)]
+

+property or indexer
+
+How often does this happen?
