In the future if you can't get a reference to something you expect to be there, make sure to check in your package manager. :-) > today.

Yes, MonoDevelop should work very similarly to Visual Studio or SharpDevelop, if you've used those before. > Finally, I at least did get the using statements right (I think).

I assume you have that MessageBox line in a static Main method in a class...but this isn't the place to get C# support...there are plenty of tutorials out there if you're new to the language (try codeproject.com). Let us know if you have any troubles getting MonoDevelop up and running.
