+Summary: Exception in generic c# program
+
+I use Mono Beta 1
+
+When I compile with gmcs and run the following program 
+I get an exception:
+
+using System;
+
+class Hello {
+
+        static void Main()
+        {
+                MyGenericClass<int> foo = new MyGenericClass<int>();
+                foo.Generic = 10;
+                Console.WriteLine (foo);
+
+                MyGenericClass<string> bar = 
+                                new MyGenericClass<string>();
+                bar.Generic = "Hello, World!";
+                Console.WriteLine (bar);
+
+                MyGenericClass<double> baz = 
+                                new MyGenericClass<double>();
+                baz.Generic = 10.5D;
+                Console.WriteLine (baz);
+        }
+}
+
+class MyGenericClass<T> {
+
+        T var;
+
+        public T Generic {
+                set { var = value; }
+        }
+
+        public override string ToString()
+        {
+                return var.GetType().ToString();
+        }
+
+}
+
+This is the output I get when running the program.
+
