I'm playing around with MonoDev on my mac and wanting to see how well it can run basic ASP.NET applications which I've worked on.
I chose a very basic site, it's got a handful of ASP.NET pages, all of which inherit nested master pages and some ASP.NET AJAX stuff. The project is .NET 2.0 and I have the web.config set appropriately for ASP.NET AJAX 1.0.
Under windows this runs without any dramas and because it's so simple I expected it to "just work" in MonoDev too. The problem is that when I run using the built-in web server for MonoDev I get the following exception:
Server Error in '/' Application
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.
Stack Trace:

It seems though that when I remove my ScriptManager from my root master page everything runs fine (well except for the JavaScript which expects it to be there).
Being completely new to Mono & MonoDev I don't really know where to start with debugging other than getting to the point I'm currently at.
