mod-mono-server.exe shuts down the application domain running your
asp.net application and starts a new one when it detects that a change
has been made. The problem is that the runtime still has the "old"
assemblies loaded and returns those instead of loading the new ones.
There's already a bug report for that.

If you don't want to stop/start apache, you can run mod-mono-server.exe
by yourself (use the same arguments as mod_mono uses when spawning
those). In this case, whenever you update your application you can run
mod-mono-server --terminate and then start it over again.
