[Mono-list] MBas compiled in VS.NET could not compile simple program

[Simon Waite]

Mono barfs with
.... non-standard metadata heap #-.
on .NET generated assemblies created via incremental compiling,
as I remember from earlier comments Miguel states that this heap
is of a non-standard format, and isn't going to be supported by mono.

Website maintainers: Perhaps this should be in the FAQ ?

Simon
