Can I use the Microsoft compilers with Monodevelop 2.2b2 on Windows?

I like the MonoDevelop IDE better than SharpDevelop or VS Express 2008, but I can't find an option to use the Microsoft compiler (vbc.exe) when building rather than the Mono compiler (vbcnc.exe).
I'm not convinced yet that I want to use the Mono compiler, nor am I sure that the newest VB.NET/C# features are even available via the Mono compiler. One step at a time, and right now I'm just trying to get my feet wet with the IDE. Is this option hidden somewhere, or is MonoDevelop only capable of building with the Mono compilers? |

Just wondering, does VS let its users choose Mono compiler instead of MS compiler?

Of
course they don't...
Next
question: would it be a good thing for developers if they
did?

If you use makefiles there is no reason you can't use a compiler other than gmcs. The same in vstudio if you use nmake. This also holds true for c or c++ projects

Interesting... this is not something I've looked into much but now that you mention it I recall some such thing as well. However, I was mainly replying to Ozgur's apparent dismissal of the OP's question. I don't want to just dismiss it - it led me to realize that an easily interchangeable back end would be a good feature in an IDE, something I'd not thought of before.

And excuse me for throwing that question early in the discussion. I agree that that resulted slightly in a dismissal of the real question.
So is there any was to *force* MonoDevelop use MS compiler?

Make a copy of csc.exe called gmcs.exe? Or whatever the ms compiler is called

Hi y'all, As far as I'm aware, MonoDevelop on Windows uses the .NET compilers for everything, or at least it should, unless you tell it to run on top of Mono. If it doesn't, that's probably a bug, and should be reported as such. Richard, to settle your mind, the C# compiler fully supports all of C# up to and including 3.5. I can't speak to the state of the VB compiler, but I don't believe it's as good. B.R.
