Mono for Android is a distinct "profile" of assemblies and types, distinct from the .NET 2.0, 4.0, Silverlight, and Compact Framework "profiles." You can't intermix profiles, e.g. take an assembly compiled against Silverlight 3.0 and run it on .NET 2.0. The exception to this are "Portable Library" assemblies, with which you can take an assembly compiled under Silverlight 4.0 and run it unchanged on .NET 4.0 (with some restrictions). (Portable Library support is something we want to support, but there is no timeframe for supporting them in Mono for Android.) However, Mono for Android does not (yet) support Portable Library assemblies, nor can Mono for Android assemblies be used unchanged under another profile (except with MonoTouch, and that's only if you don't use Mono.Android.dll & OpenTK.dll). Thus, it doesn't make sense to use "System.Runtime.Serialization.Json v4.0." Instead, you want to use the System.ServiceModel.Web.dll (v2.0.5.0) that comes with Mono for Android and provides the System.Runtime.Serialization.Json namespace. - Jon _______________________________________________ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
