[Mono-list] Compiling ASP.NET MVC 1.0 on Mono.

[Tom Opgenorth]

Hello all,

For my own curiousity, I tried to compile the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 source
code on Mono 2.4.3 (Ubuntu 9.10 x64).  When I do so under either
MonoDevelop or xbuild, I get this error message:

Mvc/FormCollection.cs(24,6):   error CS0246:  The type or namespace
name `FormCollectionBinder' could not be found. Are you missing a
using directive or an assembly reference?

Now, FormCollectionBinder is an attribute that adorns the class
System.Web.MVC.FormCollection.  The declaration of
FormCollectionBinderAttribute is a private sealed class inside of
FormCollection.  If I move the code for this attribute outside of the
class declaration for FormCollection and then try to compile, there
seems to be no problems.

Could this be a bug with the compiler?  A simpler case is this:

using System;

namespace Test
{
	[MyAttribute]
	public class MyClass
	{	
		private sealed class MyAttribute: Attribute
		{
			
		}
		public void MyMethod()
		{
		 	Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
		}
	}
}

I could not get this to compile on Mono 2.4.3.  Or, is there something
special one must do to get this to compile?
