[Mono-list] Windows vs Linux - different behavior using Facebook.dll

[Abe Gillespie]

Hello All,

I'm using this Facebook toolkit as I attempt to develop a Facebook app:

http://www.codeplex.com/FacebookToolkit

As crappily engineered as it is, at least it's already written and I
don't have to spin wheels writing boilerplate cruft.  Anyhow ...

Mono is having a problem with the assembly during its use of string
resources.  Hopefully it's not a Mono bug so someone can just set me
straight and I can move forward.

Use this simple program as a test case:

using System;
using Facebook.API;

namespace Testing
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                FacebookAPI api = new FacebookAPI();
                api.CreateSession("xxx");
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message + Environment.NewLine +
e.StackTrace);
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Done");
        }
    }
}

The output on Windows (it's an error with a stack trace because I'm
supplying a nonsense authentication token) is:

Invalid API key
   at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.ErrorCheck(XmlDocument doc)
   at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.LoadXMLDocument(String rawXML)
   at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.CreateSession()
   at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.CreateSession(String authToken)
   at Testing.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\abe\Deskt
op\shark\LostAndFound\Testing\Testing\Program.cs:line 13
Done

The output on Linux is:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Attached are the binaries (rename it to *.zip).

Thanks!
