+Summary: Cannot convert from string to Enum with FlagsAttribute when more values are specified
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Mono JIT compiler fails when trying to convert a string to an Enum with
+FlagsAttribute when more values are specified.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+The following code is extracted from the repository in
+System.Web.Compilation.TemplateControlCompiler at method
+GetExpressionFromString()
+It works on .NET while it doesn't on MONO.
+
+[Flags]
+public enum FlagEnum
+{
+  One = 1,
+  Two = 2
+}
+
+static void Main(string[] args)
+{
+  TypeConverter converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(FlagEnum));
+  if (converter != null && converter.CanConvertFrom(typeof(string)))
+  {
+    object value = converter.ConvertFromInvariantString("One, Two");
+
+    if (converter.CanConvertTo(typeof(InstanceDescriptor)))
+    {
+       InstanceDescriptor idesc =
+(InstanceDescriptor)converter.ConvertTo(value, typeof(InstanceDescriptor));
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: The value 'One, Two' is not
+a valid value for the enum 'MonoTest.Program+FlagEnum'
+  at System.ComponentModel.EnumConverter.ConvertTo (ITypeDescriptorContext
+context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, System.Object value,
+System.Type destinationType) [0x00000] 
+  at System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.ConvertTo (System.Object value,
+System.Type destinationType) [0x00000] 
+  at MonoTest.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] 
+
+Expected Results:
+The code runs without exceptions
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Note that 
+object value = converter.ConvertFromInvariantString("One, Two");
+works correctly, and value returned contains the enum with the correct
+values (One|Two).
+The problem is on the EnumConverter.ConvertTo() method.
