Why is this confusing? You seem to answer your own question - It works in 4.5, but your target runtime environment only goes up to 4.0. So you either need to avoid using that method, or upgrade your target environment.

But then you said you upgraded to mono 4.0.1, which definitely supports 4.5. So the obvious solution seems to be, build and run with 4.5. You already said this works, and now that you have a recent version of mono runtime on your target environment, you should be good to go.

So what's the problem?
