Hi all

Under the full .NET framework: if an exception is thrown from within a
static constructor, the CLR catches the exception, wraps it within a
TypeInitializationException and then throws the
TypeInitializationException.

However, the compact framework doesn't support the
TypeInitializationException. Instead a TypeLoadException is thrown,
but the original Exception seems to get lost.

Does anyone know what happens to the original exception?
