There's a bug in the VBNC compiler with finding and using conversion operators.
 As DrawString takes a RectangleF, the workaround is to do "New RectangleF"
rather that "New Rectangle".

----
Now the bugs.  Given:

public void DrawString(string s, Font font, Brush brush, RectangleF
layoutRectangle)

public struct Rectangle {
..
}

public struct RectangleF {
   public static implicit operator RectangleF(Rectangle r);
..
}

And the call above.  Then:

1) VBNC should use the conversion operator implicitly.

2) Or explicitly with CType; should succeed but fails with:

3) With DirectCast it should report error BC30311, but fails with:
