[Mono-dev] Compiling a C# project with Xamarin Studio + MonoRuntime does not work.

[Mackey Kinard]

Your cs1685 error is because your are duplicating the definition of the compiler services class.
This mainly happens when you are making extension to classes. If your are targeting .net
3.5 or higher the extension attribute is define in mono... In previous versions ... Like .net
2.0 you had to define the attribute yourself...

So probably when you made library of code that required you to define extension attribute that
Was .net 2.0... But you are using that library in a .net 3.5 or greater project which already has
Extention attribute defined...

I usually make a separate dll with the extension attribute as the only class... Then in my .net
2.0 projects (that I keep 2.0 to maintain compatible usage of my library for all versions) I reference this dll with the extension attribute... Otherwise, no need to define the extension attribute at all (for new .net projects)
