+Summary: mcs does not report cast error on const variables: CS0029 " Cannot implicitly convert type 'char' to 'byte' "
+
+csc report constant cast error from char to byte.
+But mcs does not report it. 
+It is limited only to const variables.
+
+MCS results:
+public class Test
+{
+        const byte b = 'A';
+}
+compiles successfully.
+
+CSC results:
+error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'char' to 'byte'
+
+How often does this happen? 
+ - Always.
+
+Additional Comment:
+
+mcs reports this as CS0027 error correctly.
+
+public class Test
+{
+        byte b = 'A';
+}
