Out of the blue I’ve started getting a dll exception when running the MeA code! This is definately the last thing I needed as I’ve now got to reinstall Mono, and fiddle with annoying unproductive things!!

Mono in VS2003 is a piece of cake, because there is an installer, and a community of users who have shaved all the problems away.
Sadly Mono in VS2005 is not that simple, and has given me considerable aggrevation, but I've now finally got a running add-in in VS2005. Following is an bullet point list of what I did to achieve this milestone:
- Have mono installed, thanks P@ 😉
- Download vsAddin2005 from http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewcvs/trunk/wintools/vsAddIn2005/ (Rob found this library)
- Open the solution in VS2005
- Open monoaddin.Addin and change the path in <Assembly> to the path you are using
- Build everything
- Copy all files from BinAndLib to the folder where your assembly is. (The code checks if they arein that folder. This surely most be a bug, because it would be enough to have them in the path.)
- You need all files from the folders BinAndLib and reflib somewhere in your path, e.g. system32. (Could also add the folders to the path)
- Start VS2005
- Go to Tools->option, under environment->Add-in/Macros security add the folder which has monoaddin.Addin
- Go to Tools->Addin manager…
- tick all the options of the monoaddin
- Open a solution and you can celebrate :o)

According to this article there is a new framework on its way called “castle”. It is supposed to work a bit like Ruby on Rails and enable easier web development on .NET. (They do have other tools incorporated such as aspect oriented programming.)
My question is, do we really need a Rails on .NET, I thought one of the purposes of .NET was to make web development easy!!
