c# - Method 'RouteCollection.get_AppendTrailingSlash' not found when using Razor Url helpers in ASP.NET MVC 5 Mono

Question

I am creating an ASP.NET MVC 5 application in Mono (Ubuntu 14.4, Monodevelop 5.9, Mono JIT compiler version 4.0.1).

I see that some of the razor components are not recognized, eg:

@Url.Action

When I add this

<a title="Notifications" href="@Url.Action("_Listing","Home")"> Home </a>

As of right now, the only way to get around this is to build and install Mono from source from GitHub.

You can refer to the Xamarin Bugzilla issue: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16475#c13

But, then, you might end up running into something else.... This doesn't seem to be a high-priority for the Mono guys; rather, the Xamarin/mobile story seems to gain the most attention.
