You can't instantiate System.Console, because that is a static
class, and that limitation is already documented[1].

You can't instantiate System.Collections.Generic.List, because
that is a generic class; that limitation has to be documented.

Description:
------------
When i've tried to use DOTNET lib's i got an Excpetion errors in 90% of my classes

Tried: System.Console, System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox, System.Collection.Generic.List, System.Windows.Drawing.Graphics (and moch more...)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
/*
$console = new DOTNET("mscorlib", "System.Console");
$var = $console->ReadLine();
$console->WriteLine( "Hello world from PHP - " . $var );

unset( $var );
unset( $console );
exit();
*/
$list = new DOTNET("mscorlib", "System.Collections.Generic.List");

print $list->ToString();
?> 

Expected result:
----------------
Veiwing the Console Commander like in Console APP In c# or use the list generic, grafics etc...

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to instantiate .Net object [CreateInstance] [0x80131522] ' in C:\wamp\www\folder\index.php:2 Stack trace: #0 C:\wamp\www\folder\index.php(2): dotnet->dotnet('mscorlib', 'System.Collecti...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\wamp\www\folder\index.php on line 2
