Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Start Visual Studio .NET.
2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
3. In the New Project dialog box, click Visual J# Projects under Project Types, click Console Application under Templates, and then click OK.
4. In Class1.jsl, replace the existing code with following sample code:

   import java.text.*;
   import java.util.*;
   
   
   public class Class1
   {
   	// Default Constructor
   	public Class1()
   	{
   	}
   
   	// Testing the instance methods of NumberFormat
   	public void TestNumberFormatMethods(Locale loc)
   	{
   		long number = 609607; // A sample number for formatting
   
   		// Testing the getInstance() method
   		try
   		{
   			String myString = NumberFormat.getInstance(loc).format(number);
   		}
   		catch(Exception ex)
   		{
   			ex.printStackTrace();
   		}
   
   		// Testing the getCurrencyInstance() method
   		try
   		{
   			String myString = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(loc).format(number);
   		}
   		catch(Exception ex)
   		{
   			ex.printStackTrace();
   		}
   
   		// Testing the getPercentInstance() method
   		try
   		{
   			String myString = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(loc).format(number);
   		}
   		catch(Exception ex)
   		{
   			ex.printStackTrace();
   		}
   	}
   
   	// Testing the instance methods of DateFormat
   	public void TestDateFormatMethods(Locale loc, int style, String styleName)
   	{
   		Date date = new Date(1975,11,12); // A sample date for formatting
   		// Testing the getDateInstance() method
   		try
   		{
   			String myString=DateFormat.getDateInstance(style, loc).format(date);
   		}
   		catch(Exception ex)
   		{
   			ex.printStackTrace();
   		}
   		// Testing the getTimeInstance() method
   		try
   		{
   			String myString=DateFormat.getTimeInstance(style, loc).format(date);
   		}
   		catch(Exception ex)
   		{
   			ex.printStackTrace();
   		}
   		// Testing the getDateTimeInstance() method
   		try
   		{
   			String myString=DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(style,style,loc).format(date);
   		}
   		catch(Exception ex)
   		{
   			ex.printStackTrace();
   		}		
   	}
   	
   	// Main method
   	public static void main(String[] args)
   	{
   		Locale loc = new Locale("de", "");
   		Class1 myObject = new Class1();
   		
   		try
   		{
   			System.out.println(loc.getDisplayName()+":");
   			System.out.println("-------------------");
   			myObject.TestDateFormatMethods(loc, DateFormat.DEFAULT, "DEFAULT");
   			myObject.TestNumberFormatMethods(loc);
   		}
   		finally 
   		{
   			System.Console.Read();
   		}
   	}
   }
