Re: [Mono-dev] Suggestion: Mono.Collection really useful
Hello Francisco, I think you may be more interested in the mono-list (for those using mono/C#), as this is the mono-devel-list for internal development of the mono framework/platform. First, regarding compatibility, C# and the .Net CLI are ECMA and ISO standards at this point, so it is important to maintain that as a base/minimum level. Beyond this, the most widely used implementation is Microsoft's, which does include segments other than what was submitted to ECMA and ISO. Some of these extensions are more important than others to the mono framework (ex: ASP.Net support). There are some things you may or may not agree with inside the core system, but the fact is, compatibility is pretty important as .Net (MS, Mono, dot-gnu etc) lends itself to cross-platform development. Though most of what will be developed in mono will probably center around Linux development. Many (myself included) would like to see more projects work across varied platforms without issue, or at least with less issue. Even though .Net started as a Microsoft standard, we should at least respect the core of the standard... MS has a history of breaking accepted standards, I don't think it would benefit mono to follow that path. Moreover, if there is more there than you need, so be it, better than there being less than you need. I find it very handy that most collections can be used like arrays in code (foreach is my friend). I've used this for strings/chars quite a bit. It tends to keep the app-level code a bit cleaner, and easier to understand, even if it doesn't fit the separation in your mind. Francisco Modesto wrote: Hi, I'm new with Mono and C#. I come from java world. I think you are doing a great job, congratulations! I've to admit that mono (C#) language are more powerful than java. Events is one thing I miss in high level languages. I did'n understand some things. Why the effort for be 100% compatible with Microsoft, if they did'nt want to be compatibles with nothing??? Specially with assemblies. I think there is many good things in Java than C#. Why re-code the wheel? C# assemblies are all but friendly and are designer by [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know it's not your fault. Someone can explain why System.Collection.IList has Item[] A list is not an array Maybe ToArray() method that returns an array? I miss a lot of classes, specially Collections class. List, Map, Set... I think the main power of Java is that you as programmer only have to worrier about your own problem, not implementing a lot of common stuff code.

Re: [Mono-dev] COM Interop Patch
Hello, Other than that, I think this is ok to check in. About the reorg: we have way too many way too big files, so this will be useful, but I'm not sure this is the right time to do it, since 1.2 is close. But if we do it after the big release, then we will have problems merging changes back. I think that as long as the split is done and maintained by Jon, that is OK. So if he wants to split some stuff into cominterop.c, and expose a handful of internals in an internal.h file, that should be fine.

Re: [Mono-dev] Problem with compiling using MySQL library
The compiler won't use the GAC installed library as a reference. You need to give it dll in the current directory or a full path to a specific dll, to make sure which version of a library you are referencing (the GAC can contain many different versions of the same library). Copy the MySQl.Data.dll library to the directory your sources are or reference it with a relative or absolute path like: cd src gmcs -r:../lib/MySQL.Data.dll mysource.cs The above example assumes sources on ./src and referenced libs on ./lib. The System.* libs doesn't need to be copied to be referenced as the compiler finds them not because they also are in the GAC but because they are installed in the same directory as the compiler. :) On 10/2/06, Kenneth Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I am trying to compile a small hello-program which will open a connection to a MySQL database, but the mcs compiler fails because it can't find the MySQL library ( I am running Fedora 5 Linux).

On the other hand - after reading other people's mail, it seems to me that all who experience the trimming have Oracle database setup as UTF8. Mine works in EEMSWIN1250 (you can check this with SELECT value FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE parameter='NLS_CHARACTER_SET';). This, however, should not be an issue, as NVARCHAR2 is meant for storing Unicode data even when the database does not operate in UTF8 (consult http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10749/ch6unicode.htm#i1007039). So there is ANOTHER bug, this one presenting only with non-UTF8 databases... Oh shit. Somewhere before the string gets inserted, mono (or OCI) replaces all non-ascii chars with character number 63 (yes, the question mark). [btw - I read the results through nunit gui runner, or KDE Konsole, both of which display UTF8 fine.] ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
[Mono-dev] [PATCH] DataTable.WriteXml
I've implemented the WriteXml method for System.Data.DataTable. Since
writing a table is similar to writing a DataSet, it leverages many of
the methods used to write DataSets. Included with the patch are a
successful unit test for the new WriteXml functionality and a failing
unit test for ReadXml, which has not yet been implemented. The patch
caused no regressions in the System.Data net_2_0 test suite.
The patch applies against the mcs/class/System.Data folder in the latest
SVN revision (66162 as of this message).
This is my first substantial contribution, so I'm happy to get feedback
on it. Thanks.
