The Lazy<T>.Value property can be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) after lazy initialization if the factory method that was specified for the valueFactory parameter of the Lazy<T>(Func<T>), Lazy<T>(Func<T>, LazyThreadSafetyMode), or Lazy<T>(Func<T>, Boolean) constructor returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
