I could never get MVC5 to work on Mono but if you don't use any of the new 
features in MVC5 you can just rebuild your app on MonoDevelop referencing the 
System.Web.Mvc.dll version 4 from Microsoft and it should work, here's what I 
did to get it working:

1. Download and install MVC4 if you haven't already.\

2. Open your VS2013 project in MonoDevelop on Linux and change the 
System.Web.Mvc reference to the one that ships with MS MVC4. Make sure the 
copy local checkbox it ticked.

3. Change the System.Web.WebPages.* references to the version 3.0.0 that comes 
with mono. I copied them from the GAC to a directory on my solution tree and 
added the reference from there checking copy local. On the latest version of 
MonoDevelop if you add it from the GAC or the framework directory and tick 
copy local it will copy a lot of stuff that will break your app.

4. Change both Web.config files so that all references to System.Web.Mvc use 
version 4.0.0.0 and all references to System.Web.WebPages use version 3.0.0.0.

5. Build and run the solutiion on MonoDevelop. It should work.

When you scaffold an edit view with VS2013 it will add the css classes to the 
Html.EditorFor, MVC4 ignores it so the form controls are not formatted for 
bootstrap, my solution was to use jQuery to set the css class. Also VS2013 mvc 
template references site.css but the file is called Site.css, you need to fix 
this so it works right on XSP.

The Web.config files that VS created for me are called Web, not web so you'll 
probably have to rename yours.

 
 3) What do I need to do to get an ASP.NET solution created in MonoDevelop
 to open in MS VS?  (Hopefully this is the same solution as getting my MS VS
 ASP.NET site to work in Mono/xsp4.)

I created my solution in Visual Studio and it opens in both. I've been mostly 
working on Linux but if I need to work on VS I need to change the assembly 
references back.

 4) Any advice on where Mono might already have a Publish feature like MS VS
 has in MonoDevelop?  Or else where I should go add one if no such feature
 yet exists, if it acceptable to the team in charge of this product (I don't
 want to do it, submit a pull request and be told it is an undesired
 feature).  Such a feature would very helpful for me.

Project  Deploy to Web... (on Version 5.0.1). It can only deploy to a local 
directory or network share.
