Ok I am using Windows and have .Net 3.5 and the Mono 2.6 frameworks installed. I also have installed MonoDevelop and plan on using it. I just need to know if I am setup to use the Mono runtime.

All my projects have build options for Mono/Microsoft.NET 3.5, but in Edit->Prefrences->.NET Runtimes, all I see is Microsoft.NET. How do I add the Mono runtime to this list and make it default? Or do I even need to do this? I would think I would have to since our projects will be run on Linux, but not sure how to ‘make sure’ I am actually using Mono and not just .NET?

    Mono should show up simply by virtue of being installed. You can try reinstalling Mono to see if that helps.

    If not, click the “Add” button on the Edit->Preferences->.Net Runtimes page and choose where you installed Mono to, generally it will be something like:

    C:\Program Files\Mono-2.6.1

    If you want it to be the default, click “Set as Default” while it’s highlighted and it should turn bold, indicating it is now the default. There is also a combobox on the main MD toolbar if you want a quicker way of switching between runtimes.
