BUG: StaticLocalInitFlag not serializable

[SA]

Hi all:

I think that there is a bug in the VB.NET compiler helpers: the
documentation [1] states that the StaticLocalInitFlag is serializable, but
in fact it's not.

This means that any class written in VB.NET where there is a method that
declares a static local variable cannot be serialized.

Also see [2] for a complete explanation of how I uncovered this.

Hope this helps,

(Anyone from Microsoft here?)

Herfried:

Thanks. For some reason, Google hasn't picked up on that one yet... (or at
least not with the class name I searched for)
