When you link your monodroid app it will link against the assemblies in the folders like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\MonoAndroid\v1.0" - so there won't be any conflict with any Microsoft assembly. The posts by Jeremy Likeness help to explain all this - but it took me a few readings to really understand them - http://csharperimage.jeremylikness.com/2012/03/understanding-portable-library-by.html On 14 May 2012 11:00, Stuart Lodge <m...@slodge.com> wrote: > P.S.
