Answer 1

What version of MonoDevelop are you using? MonoDevelop 2.8 can open .NET 4.0 projects (I believe 2.6 can as well). In fact, in 2.8 .NET 4.0 is the default for all new projects.

Answer 2

Using a text editor, change your *.vbproj file to add the following line:

    <TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>

to the first PropertyGroup, e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    ...
    <TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
