Here is an example of a solution I tried to rebuild:

I load up the solution in monodevelop (1.9.1), and try and rebuild and I 
get the System.Deployment error.
Taking the build output and removing System.Deployment, I run that in 
the terminal like so (
vbnc is version 0.0.0.5904 installed through fedora repos.):
 > vbnc -out:"/home/paul/mono/Calculator/bin/Debug/Calculator.exe" 
-nologo -utf8output -debug:full -rootnamespace:"Calculator" 
-target:winexe  -r:/usr/lib64/mono/2.0/System.dll 
-r:/usr/lib64/mono/2.0/System.Data.dll 
-r:/usr/lib64/mono/2.0/System.Drawing.dll 
-r:/usr/lib64/mono/2.0/System.Windows.Forms.dll 
-r:/usr/lib64/mono/2.0/System.Xml.dll

"/home/paul/mono/Calculator/FrmClac.Designer.vb" 
"/home/paul/mono/Calculator/My Project/AssemblyInfo.vb" 
"/home/paul/mono/Calculator/My Project/Application.Designer.vb" 
"/home/paul/mono/Calculator/My Project/Resources.Designer.vb" 
"/home/paul/mono/Calculator/My Project/Settings.Designer.vb" 
"-resource:/home/paul/mono/Calculator/FrmClac.resources,Calculator.FrmCalc.resources" 
"-resource:/home/paul/mono/Calculator/My 
Project/Resources.resources,Calculator.My Project.Resources.resources"


I get many errors:

/home/paul/mono/Calculator/FrmClac.vb (441,24) : Error VBNC30451: Could 
not resolve the name 'MessageBox'
/home/paul/mono/Calculator/FrmClac.vb (450,24) : Error VBNC30451: Could 
not resolve the name 'MessageBox'
/home/paul/mono/Calculator/FrmClac.vb (459,24) : Error VBNC30451: Could 
not resolve the name 'MessageBox'
/home/paul/mono/Calculator/FrmClac.vb (468,24) : Error VBNC30451: Could 
not resolve the name 'MessageBox'

and the list continues from there referencing MessageBox and later Keys, 
and finally /home/paul/mono/<MyGenerator> (1,1) : Error VBNC99999: 
Unexpected error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object


I don't have VS to test compilation in Windows.

I can take various other single snipets of code including 
System.Windows.Forms and compile and run them in mono with no problem.
