Or we could do parsing on C# and recurse on Mono. ---

Or update the csproj so that the file names are cased correctly for \*nix (note that the casing isn’t a MONO thing, it’s a OS thing), Windows will continue to not care. ---

It’s not that simple in the Windows world. NTFS is actually case sensitive, but the OS and tooling doesn’t really support it well: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/100625](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/100625) ---

It’s not necessarily that straightforward. If the file were renamed outside of the IDE and the new name differed only by case, there would be no reason for the IDE to update the csproj file automatically. …and if we’re going to be strictly pedantic, casing isn’t an OS thing – it’s an FS thing 😛 – Curt H. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Ah right, I had forgotten entirely about the POSIX subsystem (gee, I can’t imagine why). The NT kernel fully supports case-sensitive file names, but the Win32 subsystem mucks it up.
