Hi, We recently ported our Winforms application from a windows .Dotnet 3.5 using Enterprise Library 4.0 onto a Mono platform using VS2008. We reference the Mono.dll in place of Enterprise Library. The conversion was relatively straightforward for us as we had already built our Data Access components into a separate object. We converted this to use the Provider Factory which was painless. There were a few data types sprinkled in our application that are more strongly typed in Mono. The most obvious is 'Int32' which must be used in place of a simple 'int' (as in VS2008 .net 3.5). The whole conversion was managed in a weekend.

I'm new to the list. I'd like to develop a C# app targeting .NET 2.0. I'd like the application to run on Mac OSX/Windows/Linux (if possible). I intend to write a dialog applciation using Winforms, and I will be drawing on the dialog's canvas via GDI+. I will also make use of multiple threads. Is this a problem for Mono, or can I just go ahead and develop the app (using VS 2005 or 2008) and then "plug-and-chug" on any computer with the Mono runtime installed? Anything I need to be aware of in advance? Thanks so much! -L _______________________________________________ Mono-winforms-list maillist - Mono-winforms-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list _______________________________________________ Mono-winforms-list maillist - Mono-winforms-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list
