[Mono-winforms-list] [PATCH] System.Windows.Forms.Form ControlBox bug
Hi, I've been working on getting my Windows Forms app to work under Mono and finding a few bugs along the way... This one relates to the ControlBox property of the Form class. When ControlBox is set to false, the form should have a title bar only if the Text property is not empty. So whenever the Text or Controlbox properties change this needs to be tested for and the Window size adjusted accordingly. See the attached patch, which is probably overkill. I haven't written or run any tests for this sorry as I'm still getting familiar with the Mono environment.

[Mono-winforms-list] Alpha blending in libgdiplus (call for testers)
Hi, Recently a whole set of issues in libgdiplus related to alpha blending was discovered. They are summarized in this bug report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495516 Some important information can be found in the original mailing list thread[1]. In particular, motivation behind the changes is described[2] in detail there. In short: libgdiplus uses cairo to do drawing; cairo uses special PARGB format for pixels representation; libgdiplus tries to hide this fact from clients; this doesn't work out. There's currently a patch to solve the issues, but it didn't see much testing. If you are an active mono user (think System.Windows.Forms, System.Drawing) or you are porting existing code to mono, or you just feel adventurous then you can help by trying libgdiplus from SVN (or latest released tarball[3]) with the patch. Please, if you wish for a brighter future for mono and have some spare time, try the following (instructions for Ubuntu): # Install libs tools needed to compile libgdiplus. $ sudo apt-get build-dep libgdiplus # Bootstrap build environment. Add --prefix=/usr to replace version # from package upon install (not needed if you use mono and class # libraries from SVN, like me.) ~/src/mono/trunk/libgdiplus$ sh autogen.sh # Apply the patch, download it first from bug report above. $ patch -p0 libgdiplus-pargb.patch $ make $ sudo make install Now you can run System.Drawing tests if you have the class libraries sources, like this: ~/src/mono/trunk/mcs/class/System.Drawing$ make run-test PROFILE=net_2_0 As mentioned in the bugzilla entry, the patch as is breaks a few tests of icon to bitmap conversion. You can silence them (not recommended) by applying this patch: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=291608 It is generally wise to run the tests before and after applying the patch to see if there's any difference (you can always use patch -R to revert it). If tests are looking good, please try do you daily stuff with mono and report any problems you think were introduced by the patch. If you have some unit tests in your apps--please run them as well. With your help I hope we can catch potential problems with the patch before the next mono release. -- Happy hacking!

[Mono-dev] Firebird build for Mono
Hi *,
today I released 2.5 version of FirebirdClient
(http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=filesid=netprovider). This
version is way newer, than the one i.e. mentioned on
http://www.mono-project.com/Firebird_Interbase. I have a build as well
I can provide you some information how to build it yourself.
Is there some way to put new version into official Mono environment
(web page, maybe distribution, ...)?
The provider is open-source free for any use as well as the Firebird database.

At the same time compiled regex are also supported now. + ASP.NET supports now new routing handlers needed by ASP.NET MVC. + In the WinForms implementation were almost 200 bugs fixed (since Mono 2.0) * Complete Announcement of Mono 2.2 (vs Mono 2.0): http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.2 * Mono 2.0 shipped with: + A console debugger (mdb) part of the mono-debugger package. + WinForms 2.0 API is complete. + WinForms's WebBrowser was implemented using Mozilla's Gecko HTML rendering engine. + WinForms now supports international keyboard input through XIM. + Performance of locking (used by threading) was significally improved. + New debug parameter --debug=cast which print outs the types in forInvalidCastException. + The C# compiler supports now expression trees (for LINQ) which completes the C# 3.0 support. + The C# compiler is now dual-licensed under MIT/X11 and GPLv2 (only). + LINQ and LINQ to XML are now complete. + Big Arrays for 64bit architectures are now support (but have to be compiled using the --enable-big-arrays configure switch) * Complete Announcement of Mono 2.0: http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.0 -- Mirco Bauer mee...@debian.org Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:58:39 +0200 Here the APT repository (x86 only) for the packages: deb http://debian.meebey.net/pkg-mono/mono / The release schedule goes like this: - upload to debian.meebesy.net (completed) - once I received some positive feedback I will push the packages as -1 to Debian/Experimental. - once the packages passed the NEW queue I will upload them to Debian/Unstable. - sync with Ubuntu/Karmic Happy Mono 2.4ing! -- Regards, Mirco 'meebey' Bauer PGP-Key ID: 0xEEF946C8 FOSS Developermee...@meebey.net http://www.meebey.net/ PEAR Developermee...@php.net http://pear.php.net/ Debian Developer mee...@debian.org http://www.debian.org/ ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
Re: [Mono-dev] Resolving dependencies while compiling
* Jonathan Pryor jonpr...@vt.edu [2009-05-20 21:23]: gmcs is currently being modified to use Mono.Cecil instead of System.Reflection.Emit, which should make gmcs act more like .NET here. That's what I had understood from some bug reports, good :) There are different solutions we could use: 1) gmcs could compile like VS, not knowing the types from Tier0/1 - ideal This should eventually work with either Mono 2.6 or 2.8, due to the gmcs Cecil migration. That would be really nice. 2) reference all dll's from Tier0/1 in application - bad Not sure why this is bad. Annoying, certainly, but bad? Yes, 'bad' is maybe a too strong word. From a technical point of view, everything is ok. But in practice, in non-trivial appliaction it is very, very annoying. First, you get all namespaces from all libraries available in code completion. Types/namespaces that shouldn't really be used at that tier are avaialbe to programmer, etc. If any lib changes it's dependent libraries it's hell. You must add references to all projects if lib adds new dependency. If some lib drops dependency, you don't event know you can drop it from you libs, etc. Really annoying ;) 3) copy (symlink) all dll's from Tier0/1 to directory of every Module* (Tier2) - that's what we've been using until now. But it started to be a real maintenance problem. Someone off-list mentioned that svn + symlinks == pain, so I can see how this would be problematic. True, first it sometimes just breaks. Second, creating them is annoying ;) 4) put all dll's from all Tiers to one directory - we want to avoid that Not sure why you want to avoid this, considering that to _run_ your app (for testing, etc.) you'll need all of these assemblies in the same True. Problem is we have one application, that's dynamically loading modules at runtime. So, we don't need all aseemblies in output directory of every module. The server has references to all (or most of) libraries from Tier0/1, so they are in output directory of the application when it is run (that answers the question about how we ensure having the libs at runtime). Comming back to the question. At the moment we are using about 10-12 outside libraries at tier 1. And 4 libraries developed in-house. Many of those libraries comes with more then 1 dll (NHibernate and Castle with many more). So, putting them all in one directory, and adding references to them means .dll hell, and problems when libs are updaed to new version etc. ... Oh, wait, I think I understand now. You mean - only coping those dll's to on dir at build time (or repo update time), and only use this directory during build, not to add references. That's some idea :) But I think it is very similar to setting MONO_PATH? All our problems are really coming from few requirements: - we are lazy ;) - we don't want maintance problems when upgrading libraries, quessing where dll's comes from (so we keep per-library dir) - we want to develop the same project in both windows nad linux, - we want to use .csproj for both IDEs - VS and MD (it is working great, btw), - we want the work for developers as smooth as possible - we would want to avoid having to track few build files and keep them in sync - everything just works ;) Ok, I know, daydreaming ;-) Have a nice weekend. silk ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

Hi, The attached patch allows hook functions to be registered with mono to use when marshaling BSTRs. I need this functionality because the Win32 API emulator we use requires that the encoding is ucs4 and another allocator be used. This patch only correct part of my problem. If this is approved I will be adding similar code for Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem and Marshal.AllocHGlobal, which will be a separate commit. 2009-05-22 Bill Holmes billholme...@gmail.com * cominterop.c : mono_string_to_bstr, mono_string_from_bstr and mono_free_bstr changed to call external hooks if installed. mono_install_bstr_funcs added to the set the hooks. * marshal-hooks.h : Added to declare mono_install_bstr_funcs * Makefile.am : Adding marshal-hooks.h to the list of public API header files.

I first removed the 1.2.3 version and then placed the new version as described into faqs. I checked the assembly that is specified on the gmcs command line, as specified in detailed error ( tmp/wwwrun-temp-aspnet-0/37c30bc1/assembly/shadow/409bd53a/54dc730a_1447a630_0001/) and there is the right file, the 1.2.4 version. What I'm doing wrong? why it seems to keep on searching for the old specific version? Thanks in advance. Mono does not deal well with 2 assemblies that are different only in the version number.

Re: [Mono-list] DLL Created in Visual Basic 6.0 can run on cross platform
Hi, I belive that the problem with VB6 is that it massively depends on third party closed source ActiveX DLLs and OCXes written in C that are very unlikely to be available on Linux without Wine. I think that there are two reasonable solutions: 1) Use genuine VB6 on Wine. 2) Convert the project to VB.NET, remove ActiveX dependencies and use Mono. In my opinion other conversions are not worth.

[Mono-list] Joining multicast groups with Socket
I have had a strange problem with mono. I am using Socket class to listen some UDP traffic and that socket must join multicast. The line for joining multicast looks like this: udpSocket.SetSocketOption (SocketOptionLevel.IP, SocketOptionName.AddMembership, new MulticastOption (ipMulticast, ipAddress)); I have tested that on a computer in a development environment and it worked fine. When I moved the computer to another network some strange problems occured. I got the following messages when I tried to run this program as a service: May 21 09:23:11 xxx mono: yyy.exe: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. May 21 09:23:11 xxx mono: yyy.exe: Network subsystem is down. I found out that the error occured when computer wanted to join multicast with the line of code I have provided at the beginning. When I put the computer in the development network it worked OK again. Then I started to analyze what is the difference and found out the following. The development network has default gateway defined and the other network has not. The reason is that network is closed an no traffic does need to go in or out of that network. That is why I didn't provide default gateway in network settings. Then I put some dummy default gateway into network configuration and all started to work fine. I am not sure if it is OK to work that way. I think joining multicast group should work with no default gateway too. It is true that multicast IP I was using is outside of the network (224.1.1.1) because all multicast adresses have reserved IP space out of any other network. But adding a default gateway that does not exist is not a sensible solution for me. I am writing this to help anyone that may encounter similar problems. I also hope some mono developers will take a look at it and maybe correct it in the future releases. I didn't test that in .NET Windows since I don't use multicast there. I was using mono 2.4 on Centos 5.3. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Joining-multicast-groups-with-Socket-tp23665993p23665993.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

Hi, I'm aware of this.

Re: [Mono-list] Building a new control, Need a starting point

I'd like to attempt to build an outliner control (very similar to the one you would see in the opml editor [http://editor.opml.org/]). Under normal circumstances I might inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Control, override the OnPaint method, and go from there. If I was to write the control with the intention of using the GTK# libraries, where would be a good place to start? Is there any existing controls (without DllImports) that I could take a look at as an example? There are a number of controls around, e.g. big ones like MonoDevelop's Mono.TextEditor, Banshee's ListView, etc, or smaller ones like MD's Toolbox. Or a really simple one that just wraps text to a fixed width, breaking on camel case: http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/monodevelop/main/src/core/MonoDevelop.Components/MonoDevelop.Components/FixedWidthWrapLabel.cs?view=markup You can just subclass Widget, but if you subclass DrawingArea it sets up a GdkWindow for you. If you need input, your widget needs a GdkWindow; If not, you just paint onto some portion of the parent's GdkWindow. IIRC when creating the GdkWindow you have to pass a mask of the kinds of events you want to subscribe to - mouse, keyboard, DnD, etc. You need to handle the width request and allocation events to handle layout -- you need to handle whatever allocation you get, regardless of what you requested. Then handle the expose event to do the painting. If your widget has requested mouse, keyboard, DnD, etc events, you can handle those events too (all of this using the On* overrides, of course). -- Michael Hutchinson http://mjhutchinson.com ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
