Native support for VS2005 Projects in Monodevelop

This is a call for testing 

Code for providing native support for vs2005
solutions/projects is in
svn now, in the prj2make-sharp-lib. Native support means
that you can
directly open vs2005 projects in monodevelop. Any changes
made to the
project through monodevelop would get reflected in the
project
file. So you can effectively share the same project files
between VS2005 and
MonoDevelop.

If you try to add a monodevelop solution/project (.mds/.mdp)
to a
vs2005 solution,
then it will be converted to the vs2k5 equivalent files
(solution
folders/csproj etc).

The addin tries to do non-destructive writes of the
sln/project files,
i.e., it will (try) not
to delete things that it doesn't understand.

It hasn't really seen much testing besides by that done by
myself.
You'll need monodevelop from SVN for
trying this out. Its not complete yet, but seems to be
working fine for most
cases (that i tried . Would be
nice if we can see what doesn't work or what
else is required to be supported in this.

Thanks

Ankit, thanks very much for this great work. I have been
trying it a bit
and worked fine. However today I tried to open the following
sln file
and I got an error:

http://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/mcs/nunit20/n
unit20.sln

Should I file a bug about it?

Regards,
