We've follow the same approach with porting ASP.NET application from MS.NET to Mono 1.16... The application is a CRM (customer Relationship Management) application. It use Webservices (to talk to an active directory server) and an oracle Database. The application used some 3rd party library too. The Port is now succesfull ! I'm happy to see that i've experienced fast the same problem as you :
- The major problem was Oracle, i've contributed to the oracleclient assembly in order to add correct datetime support and pooling - trouble with multiple cookies too... But this problem only appear when I use mod_mono, i've no problem with xsp... why? I've submitted a message in the mailing list two days ago, but it doesn't interest anybody... - trouble with differences in executing path (order of including user controls)... - Some rendering problem with firefox (MS.NET doesn't render html exactly the same with an IE or a mozilla client) - Problems with the French DateTime format (for mono 1/02/03 is the 3rd of february 2001) - I'm doing some tests between a gentoo/mod_mono and a W2x3/.NET machine and for instance, i can see any differences... I can hope that our application will be put into production with mod_mono may be soon... Long life to mono !!!
