The reason is simply ProjectType - VS does not understand MonoTouch
Project type actually it's GUID
see: Using a monotouch project in Visual Studio 2008/2010
at:
http://www.shrinkrays.net/code-snippets/csharp/monotouch-tips-and-snippets.aspx
and:
http://escoz.com/developing-with-monotouch-on-windows-and-visual-studio/
(This is what our guys have implemented with batch script and we are
currently in the early
test phase....)
There are few comments about this post:
"7zip does not extract files deeper than
“…\monotouch-eval-3.1.1\monotouch.pkg”."
The fact is that unzipping must be done twice in order to get what You need!
Remember with all this modern stuff (xap, apk, pkg) if You're stuck try
renaming it
to zip and unzipping it - it may be hidden/renamed zip archive. It
usually works for us.

If You want I can ask our mac freak how far is he with this stuff!
We have managed to create Visual Studio Solution multi-Project template
that creates
WP, M4A, SL, WPF, WF and asp.net solution with one duobule-click in VS.
Right now
we are on the mac side trying to add MonoTouch in the template.
But for that we'll need small batch script with moving files (project
files for MT) and
a bit of playing with sed (yes we have it on windows.... 8-P.
The script will be used for converting MT files to VS actually
commenting it out when
comming from Mac world to Windoze and uncommenting project type in
csproj file:
<ProjectTypeGuids>{E613F3A2-FE9C-494F-B74E-F63BCB86FEA6};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>
Doing it reverse when pushing back to mac...
There are 2 or 3 apps that do that, but we are aiming for batch cos we
are lazy! Clicking in UI
everytime
