Global Resource Issue in MonoDevelop Xamarin Studio

The following code:

<asp:Button runat="server" Text="<%$Resources:Main, Save %>" />

is producing the following error:

Error: Unexpected '<' in tag 'asp:Button'.

Details:

ASP.net 4.0 Web Application (C#)
Xamarin Studio Version 4.0.12 (build 3

Is there a workaround for this issue?

Edit:

Will mono framework parse the resource if the solution was compiled by Visual Studio targeting "Mono 2.8 Profile"?

Nope, you can't even use single quotes like you can in Visual Studio to get away with code like that. You're going to have to use code-behind to accomplish what you are trying. Sorry

To answer your edit, your syntax is valid. The problem is with Monodevelop not Mono. Nothing in the C# spec states that what you are doing is wrong, this is a parser issue with quotes and brackets in a specific tool.

The implicit syntax should work in its stead:

<asp:Button runat="server" Text="DefaultText" meta:resourcekey="Save" />
