Thoughts on Mono?
-
Now Mono 1.0 has been released, whats everyones Thoughts on Mono?? In the brief time I have been playing with it I have got it to run 2 Visual Studio 2003 compiled VB.NET Console applications. Havnt tried ASP.Net yet. It had problems running the WinForm's Application I wrote mind you. Next thing to try is the Console App's on Linux :-) It does also mean, that any products I write in Visual Studio on a Windows box will (can) be cross-platform. Anyone know of any linux Web Hosts that are looking to implement Mono? If this takes off it could lead to very cheap "Microsoft .Net Compatiable" Hosting.. John Crocker
Personally, I think it's great; it allows me to catch-up on sleep.

I am pleasantly surprised they made 1.0. However, I still think it is too risky to use Mono for production code. Heck, I avoid even Microsoft .NET for critical pieces of code - I stick with ISO C++ for that. Maybe in 5 years, though...

I've been trying it out: specifically ASP.Net coupled to apache with mod_mono. I can get the xsp server to work as a standalone correctly, and Apache works fine[^]. But I'm having problems with mod-mono: Try going to http://airwebreathe.homeip.net/demo/[^]. It's wierd because the mod_mono module seems to be working just fine; but for every connection to the ASP.Net site I get this error in the log:
[Tue Jul 06 18:41:33 2004] [error] mod_mono: connect error (Permission denied).
File: /tmp/mod_mono_server
Maybe some apache experts can help figure out what's going wrong! If I can get this working it will be amazing - a dedicated lightweight server capable of rendering every known format! Joel Holdsworth

As soon as it supports WinForms, I'll be checking it out. Until then, it isn't much use to me, personally. Custom Software, Custom Solutions. Yye Software. http://www.yyesoftware.com

Days after the Mono 1 release, Mono dev lead Miguel de Icaza decided on rewriting the System.Windows.Forms implementation for Mono. His post regarding this is here. #include "witty_sig.h"

:laugh: Yeah, to be followed by "Surround" in version 4.0 or 5.0 depending on the speakers features. :-):rolleyes: In case you didn't know, it's actually named after the word "monkey" in Spanish. Regards, Alvaro

Finally! I couldn't understand why they had to use wine to begin with. It's basically a large chunk of windows - and they'd use that to just do windowing and/or graphics!? Overkill if you ask me. -- Ich bin Joachim von Hassel, und ich bin Pilot der Bundeswehr. Welle: Erdball - F104-G Starfighter

Not deprecated - the Mono team just could get that into their BCL either! ;P

If they left the Microsoft System.Windows.Forms in tact, they would have to. Almost every control in Windows Forms (and many classes throughout the BCL) encapsulates native APIs. The Windows API and Common Controls are used heavily throughout Windows Forms (just look at all that's done via a
WndProcoverride, which represents the WindowProc), so building Windows Forms on top of Wine lets them get away with minimal changes to the Microsoft assemblies, if any are even needed. The less they have to do, the better (both in the short- and long-terms).Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles
