You said Mono is giving you the error, not .NET.

So you'd need to insert the Console.WriteLine(xmldoc.OuterXml) or  
similar in *Mono's* source code, which is Open Source (mcs/class/ 
Managed.Windows.Forms/namespace/class.cs). Afterwards, `make  
PROFILE=net_2_0` and `make install PROFILE=net_2_0` should compile and  
install it to Mono's GAC.
