Should I use Mono on a real project?
I’ve used it for a number of internal and commercial projects with great success. My warnings: Write lots of unit tests and make sure they ALL pass under Mono — this will save you a lot of trouble. Unless you absolutely have to, do NOT use their embedding API. It’s damn easy to use, but … Read more
Access to the path “/etc/mono/registry” is denied
Turns out simply creating the folder using mkdir sudo mkdir /etc/mono/registry and setting the right permissions using chmod sudo chmod uog+rw /etc/mono/registry does the trick.

MonoDevelop ARMv6 on Raspberry Pi
The Mono project supports ARM, so one should be able to build and use MonoDevelop on the Raspberry Pi. At least that’s what I’m hoping! 2012-05-16 I got my Raspberry Pi yesterday (yay!) and can confirm that it is possible to compile and run .NET code (I tested with C#) using Mono and its MCS … Read more
Xamarin Android – Turn off Mono Logs
This can be done by changing the state of Monos execution environment on the device; which is just a set of environment variables that alters Monos behaviour (be it garbage collection, logging etc). In this case, to alter the logging behavior we need to modify the values stored in the environment variables MONO_LOG_LEVEL and MONO_LOG_MASK. … Read more
