title: Running a C# program on Ubuntu with Monodevelop?
body: <p>I am new to C#. I was consulting a book by Kanetkar and solving a basic exercise with Monodevelop on Ubuntu. 
  I chose Empty C# file from new button on toolbar. Here is the program I typed.</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  namespace RameshSalaryQuest {   
      class RameshSalary {        
          static void Main (String[] args) {          
              double basic, dearness, rent, gross;            
              Console.WriteLine("Enter Ramesh's Basic Salary:");
              basic = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());           
              dearness = basic * 0.4;
              rent = basic * 0.2;         
              gross = basic + rent + dearness;            
              Console.WriteLine("Ramesh's Gross Salary is:\t"+gross);
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To Build --> F7 : Build Successful</p>
  
  <p>To Run --> Ctrl + F5 : This gives the following output.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Enter Ramesh's Basic Salary:
  Ramesh's Gross Salary is:   0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not even asked to input data. Where this went wrong?</p>
