After upgrading to monodevelop 5.3 from git I could no longer load asp projects. I always received the following error.

Could not load type ‘MonoDevelop.AspNet.AspNetAppProject’ from assembly ‘MonoDevelop.AspNet

There is a quick fix. Disable and renable the monodevelop asp add-ins.

Tools -> Add-in Manager ->Web Development Disable and enable all web add-ins. Reload your solution and it should work.

Requirements Ubuntu 14.04 +, mono-devel installed

sudo apt-get mono-devel

Build MonoDevelop

First make sure you have monodevelop build dependencies installed. This is missing from the official instructions and will keep you from hunting down all required build packages.

sudo apt-get build-dep monodevelop

Next follow the instructions found at https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/tree/master but use config options like below to avoid overwritting the default monodevelop packages with ubuntu.

Configure Options and Build

git submodule update --init --recursive

export EnableNuGetPackageRestore=true ;
./configure --prefix=/opt/majorsilence/monodevelop --profile=stable ; make

Run MonoDevelop

make run

Create binary package
