[Mono-list] SerialPort access

[Kornél Pál]

Microsoft .NET Framework has releases: 1.0, 1.1, 2.0. Note that 3.0 is 
exactly the same as 2.0 but contains some more components.

Each release has different set of functionality.

Mono is released as a single product that contains support multible 
framework versions. Profile 1.0 is intended to be compatible with MS.NET 1.1 
and profile 2.0 is intended to be compatible with MS.NET 2.0.

If you compile you code using MS csc 1.0, 1.1 or Mono mcs it will use 
profile 1.0. If you compiler your code using MS csc 2.0 or gmcs it will use 
profile 2.0. Also note that you can use .config files to override this 
default behavior.

I tried this and it seems not to complain. For some reason I did not know 
about the 'profiles' in monodevelop.

Thanks, all sorted, for now.
