Monodroid Visual Studio Android App Not Copying to device-Collection of common programming errors

Hi I am new to the Android Application world. I have installed the Monodroid plugin for Visual Studio. I created a new Mono for Android Application. The project builds, I start my emulator, I select my emulator in the Select Devices dialog, the dialog then states Copying application to device… the dialog then goes away. However, the application never appears in my emulator. There are no errors the project builds fine, but the app never appears in the emulator. has anyone run into this before?
