familiar tools such as ReSharper and Visual Studio when editing code.

## Installation
To install the extension simply [download and run the vsix-package](https://github.com/downloads/follesoe/VSMonoTouch/VSMonoTouch.vsix)
from the download section on the github page. In addition you need to copy the MonoTouch
[Download and run the vsix-package](https://github.com/downloads/follesoe/VSMonoTouch/VSMonoTouch.vsix)
from the github page. You also need to copy the MonoTouch
binaries from your Mac development environment to your Visual Studio 2010 development environment.
Copy all the files from `/Developer/MonoTouch/usr/lib/mono/2.1/` on your Mac to
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v1.0` on your PC.

Add a `RedistList`-folder under your newly created `v1.0`-folder.
Download the [FrameworkList.xml file](https://github.com/downloads/follesoe/VSMonoTouch/FrameworkList.xml) and add it to the `RedistList`-folder.

## Why the .NETFramework\v1.0 folder?
The reason for the ".NETFramework\v1.0" location on your PC is how MonoTouch specify the
`<TargetFrameworkVersion>v1.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>` in the .cproj file.
If the `<TargetFrameworkIdentifier>` isn't specified Visual Studio will default to `.NETFramework`,
which will make Visual Studio look for reference assemblies in the `v1.0` folder.
If you don't copy your MonoTouch files to this directory Visual Studio will complain that the
Target Framework is not installed.

The final step is to add a `RedistList` folder under your newly created `v1.0`-folder.
Inside this folder you need to download the [FrameworkList.xml file](https://github.com/downloads/follesoe/VSMonoTouch/FrameworkList.xml).
