I assume that you are trying to open a Microsoft .Net project file, in that case you just have to create a Mono develop version by going File>New project.

No, RaptorJesus is wrong.

You should be able to open Visual Studio Solutions (.sln) and C# Projects (.csproj) from the File/Open menu. Generally, opening solutions works much much better than projects, since MD always needs a parent solution for any given project

Is this true, directhex? I always assumed that you had to create your own. I should probably stop offering suggestions on this forum.

MD is currently moving towards using VS project file formats instead of its own formats. It should be able to open ones produced by VS, but doesn't currently have a 100% success rate
