Unfortunately this patch will not be backported to 2.6, vbnc recently went
through some major changes that can't be backported to maintenance releases
(the risk of breaking something else would be too great).

This will work (except that you're mixing C# and VB here, VB doesn't have
'var' :) )

Note that the bug was only for a few very specific code sequences (this
still worked for instance: ScenarioContext.Current("counter") += 1)
