So I installed mono-runtime and monodevelop on my RasberryPI running Raspbian. I also built a test application in vb.net which Is targeted for .net 2.0. When I try and run the test app I get this:
Missing method CompareString in assembly /home/pi/Desktop/PITest.exe, type Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Operators
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
File name: 'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

All help would be greatly appreciated!
You probably have only mono-runtime installed. To support VB.Net, you need an additional package (which contains Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll), it's called mono-basic IIRC.
So simple sudo apt-get install mono-basic should give you the missing file.
(or was it mono-vbnc? Can't check it, sold my raspberry-pi some month ago... Yes, you have to install mono-vbnc, too)
