+Summary: error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type `object' to `System.ValueType'
+
+mcs incorrectly rejects *explicit* cast from a value instance (e.g. int) to
+System.ValueType, saying that there is no *implicit* conversion from int to
+ValueType.
+
+using System;
+
+public class Test
+{
+        ValueType vt;
+
+        void Foo ()
+        {
+                vt = (ValueType) 1;
+        }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+cast-to-valuetype.cs(9,3): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type
+`object' to `System.ValueType'
+
+Expected Results:
+
+No CS0029 error.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+If there is no cast, it does not raise CS0029 error.
