The assembly Mono.Security with that (exact) version is not found. Make sure it is present in your references or bin folder.

You must use the Mono.Security.dll file that comes with the Novell.Directory.Ldap.dll you downloaded, otherwise you;ll run into binary compatibility issue.

Note that the version number of Mono.Security.dll match the framework version since this assembly is part of the Mono framework where it is used by most of its security tools. As such you cannot go around and look for the file (well you could be lucky, but don't count on it) you need the one that was used to test Novell.Directory.Ldap.dll.
