Just getting started here so sorry if this is a no brainer but I guess my expectation of at least the sample code working out of the box was too great. I downloaded the tasky sample and opened it within VS2012. When I hit run, it fails with only this in the output window. Nothing appears out of the ordinary except for the last line where mono is exiting with code 0. It shouldn't be exiting, not until I close the application, methinks.

I am running on x64 Windows 8, VS2012.
