According to the hackers in #mono, <alexmipego> and <jonp>
this is a feature of mono that implments c# v2 features.  
anonymous delegate support is the name of the feature.
i guess this is then a feature request, it looks like an better error message 
would be in order, that would advise people that this is a c# v2 feature that 
is not supported yet.

Well, it turns out that this might be something that is allowed in mono 
(rightly or wrongly) that does not work in pnet.  It is therefore good to have 
this in the pnet bug system so that other people who are porting from mono to 
pnet will know about this issue. 

There is code in frege 
http://www.netalleynetworks.com/community/jgeldart/research/frege/Frege-0.1.0.tar.gz
that needs to be changed to compile on pnet :

-                    Driver.ServiceOwnerChanged += OnServiceOwnerChanged;
+                    Driver.ServiceOwnerChanged += new 
BusDriver.ServiceEventHandler(OnServiceOwnerChanged);

I will see if this is a bug in mono. Or if this is a new feature of .net2 that 
has not been implemented yet in pnet.

//This is not a bug.
//was my fault, here is the good code.
public class  TEST {
        public TEST()
        {}
        public delegate void foo ();
        public virtual event  foo boo;
}
class test
{
        void foo2()
        {}
        void foo3()
        {
            TEST foo;
            foo.boo += new TEST.foo(foo2);
        }
}
