Re: [Mono-dev] Windows Shell
The ShlWapi stuff is only needed because IShellFolder.GetDisplayNameOf() returns a STRRET, ShlWapi.dll provides StrRetToBuf which makes translating this abomination to a standard string a little easier. Or am I missing the point? I am looking into the portland project for providing special folders on linux. Am I right in thinking that if portland is not present, we could just present the *nix filesystem as the shell namespace, rooted at / instead of Desktop? If there is the opinion from those higher up that this library might be useful, I would be happy to have a shot at implementing the *nix side of things. We still need early adopters to give feedback though. On 11/30/06, Charlie Poole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI Steve, Good point about porting.

[Mono-dev] Smoke test and test reports
Hi, I am doing some research on how Open Source project do testing. I was trying to find out how is automated smoke testing being done for Mono. I found the http://www.mono-project.com/Test_Suite page that points to http://mono.ximian.com/tests/displayTestResults.php but that page seem to show information from November 2005. What did I miss? I also heared that there is a continous performance testing cycle. A pointer to that would be appreciated. regards Gabor ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
[Mono-dev] Error handling for embedded Mono
Hi All, I was looking at embedding Mono into a project and noticed that in several places Mono simply calls exit(-1) when it has a problem. This is obviously not a very good solution for a project that is running embedded Mono; a nicer solution would be to return an error code that could be handled by the host program. I had a look at making some changes to remove some of these calls but ran into some problems. For example mono_init_internal calls exit (line 586 of domain.c) but by that point the domain has been allocated and a lot of things have been initialized. So my question is how does Mono handle such errors? Is it possible to return NULL for the domain and just call mono_jit_cleanup? Also should mono_runtime_run_main (in object.c) set mono_environment_exitcode_set and return -1 instead of calling exit?

Re: [Mono-dev] Windows Shell
Hi Steve, The shlwapi assembly has some useful stuff for manipulating paths that I once used in NUnit. Of course, I had to remove it in order to port. I just wondered if you felt it was within your scope, since it has shell in its name... btw, if you want to Pascal-Case the name, it would have to be ShLwApi, since it stands for the shell lightweight api :-) I personally have no knowoledge about what would be the right thing to do with this for linux developers, but its definitely the right group to ask.
