+Summary: Typecasts aren't being allowed in Attribute parameters
+
+This error was originally reported by karamal@eecg.toronto.edu
+
+Compiling code like this:
+
+[myAttribute("stringArgument", (String)null, (String)null, 2)]
+
+gives the following error message:
+
+teste.cs(10) error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant
+expression, typeof expression or array creation expression
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+It compiles OK with csc. Also if the typecast are removed, mcs resolve it
+right.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+using mcs.exe from mono-0.19 install and also from cvs 
+
+This is a source for testing this bug:

+	}
+
+	[myAttribute("stringArgument", (String)null, (String)null, 2)]
+	public class Test
+	{
+	}
+}
