[Mono-list] Mono + VB.NET?

Thanks for the suggestion, Rolf.  However, with xsp2 I get a different error:

$ xsp2
Listening on port: 8080 (non-secure)
Listening on address: 0.0.0.0
Root directory: /wwwroot
Hit Return to stop the server.

In the first couple lines is a strange error -
"System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized
configuration section <identity> () (/usr/etc/mono/2.0/machine.config
line 7)"
Looking at that file, there's no "identity" section on line 7 or elsewhere -
grep -i identity /usr/etc/mono/2.0/machine.config

In my Windows dev environment, though,
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config
does contain an "identity" section:
      <section name="identity"
type="System.Web.Configuration.IdentitySection, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

Is this something missing from mono, or something misconfigured on my end?

TIA,
Will
