Variable type should be specified errors

This is a VB.NET (2.0) Winform app.  I've validated the code with MOMA and it passes without errors.  It
compiles fine on VS 2005.  I've suiccessfully loaded the app into MonoDevelop on the Mac.  The program
won't successfully finish compiling because I get 3 identical errors:

Variable type should be specified.(warning message should have been shown)
The errors have no associated program and line numbers are shown as 0.

Any suggestions on how to go about findout where these errors are or what might be causing them.

This is my first Mono project so any help is appreciated!
