How are you generating the assemblies? Are this
assemblies generated by MS tools? Mono doesn't
support incremental assemblies generated by CSC.

Did you verify the assembly?

Mono: pedump --verify code  <assembly>
MS:   PEVerify.exe          <assembly>

Mono has a disassembler, too: monodis <assembly>
