[MonoDevelop] monodevelop not finding System.Xml

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi William, no prob,

Well it's not something you do in the source code, but in the project:

Right-click the project icon/name in the solution tree and choose "Add
Reference". In the upcoming dialog, select the System.Xml.dll in the
appropriate list and click OK.

That's it. And is very similar to what you have to do in VS.NET,  the
difference here is that VS.NET assumes a LONG list of implicit
references, that include that dll, and MD want you to be explicit,
because that way compilation will be faster (noticeably) as well as it
will reduce the application startup time (not so noticeably).

Hope it helps,
