+Summary: text.Chars is accepted by mcs
+
+rodo provided the snippet of code: the code should not compile
+(there is no text.Chars property that can be called that way).
+using System;
+class T {
+	readonly int tabChars = 8;
+        private void WhiteLen (string text, ref int len, ref int chars) {
+               len = 0;
+               chars = 0;
+
+               while (chars < text.Chars
+                        && (text [chars] == ' ' || text [chars] == '\t')) {
+                        len += text [chars] == ' ' ? 1 : tabChars;
+                        chars ++;
+                }
+        }
+	static void Main () {}
+}

+simple standalone test case:
+
+class A
+{
+	static void B (string c, ref int d, ref int e)
+	{
+		System.Console.WriteLine ("{0}", c.Chars);
+	}
+
+	public static int Main (string[] args)
+	{
+		int f = 0;
+		int g = 0;
+
+		B ("lalala", ref f, ref g);
+
+		return 0;
+	}
+}

+ah, Paolo is right, the problem is to call to Chars property of
+String. (First I thought the problem is related to ref-ed variables)

+If I was trying to get Chars property with code, I get 
+
+** ERROR **: Invalid IL code at IL009b in .niisAMT:Main (string[]):
+IL_009b: callvirt  0x0a000003
+
+while run.
