using System;

namespace Samples
{
  public class TypeInitializationExceptionSample
  {
    static TypeInitializationExceptionSample()
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Type Initializer");
      throw new ApplicationException(
                  "TypeInitializationException");
    }
    public TypeInitializationExceptionSample()
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Instance Initializer");
    }
    static public void Main()
    {
      TypeInitializationExceptionSample t =
        new TypeInitializationExceptionSample();
    }
  }
}
