+Summary: incorrect parameter modifier for Double.TryParse
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Try to compile a program with:
+double result = 0.0;
+bool test = Double.TryParse("123.456",
+System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Float,
+System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo, out result);
+2. It won't compile.  Mono wants "out result" to be "ref result".
+3. 
+
+Actual Results:
+Mono won't compile the program since it requests the parameter modifier be
+"ref" instead of "out"
+
+Expected Results:
+MSDN
+(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdoubleclasstryparsetopic.asp)
+lists the parameter modifier as being "out" not "ref"
+
+How often does this happen? 
+every time.
