It sucks. Doesn't Mono support generics? It has to, otherwise I won't be able to make my wavelet compression program O_O

Or… Do you know any good tutorial with explanation how to use dynamic arrays under C#? Or any other fast array-like collections?

With Mono, you have to use "gmcs" instead of mcs to compile your code if it uses generics.

The  mcs compiler is used to compile against the 1.x profile and implements C# 1.0 and 2.0 with the exception of generics and nullable types.
The gmcs compiler is used to compile against the 2.x profile and imple-ments the complete C# 2.0 specification.
