RE: [Mono-list] mono wsdl.exe gags on eBay SOAP WSDL

I'm not having any luck. After trying unsuccessfully to use mcs to compile a command-line C# app originally written with Visual Studio .NET on Windows, I decided it might make sense to just use mono's wsdl.exe utility to create a SOAP client wrapper class that would be more to mono's liking. But the command: wsdl.exe http://developer.ebay.com/webservices/latest/eBaySvc.wsdl provides no output (besides the Mono Web Services Description Language Utility header), and no error message. This looks like a bug in the wsdl tool. Can you please file the bug in bugzilla.ximian.com? Thanks! Lluis. Running the utility on a known-good WSDL file (such as http://www.gama-system.com/webservices/stockquotes.asmx?wsdl) does generate the expected client wrapper class on my system (which is Windows XP). Any ideas?

RE: [Mono-list] I give up
I'm interested to know what your (and others') problems with GTK# are and what you mean by support -- are you finding it difficult to learn, in other words would better documentation help? Or are you finding it difficult to use, things aren't working as advertised, that kind of thing?

Mono supports Gtk# (and GTK+) to the exclusion of any other platform. Portable.NET is behind their own SWF implementation, but at least they are a bit more agnostic. The Qt/KDE community seems to find the entire concept of C# and its use of metadata and JIT compilation repulsive. I'm tired of trying and failing. I'm tired of having no one to support me. I'm tired of feeling isolated and alone. It's just not worth it. Maybe I will end up Windows XP and .NET. Who knows. I just know that the Free software community has got to be the most hostile and intolerant group of people I have ever encountered. ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

Hey team, Long-time listener, first-time caller. I wanted to get your advice on something...I'm helping a high-energy team of Linux ninjas who are interested in creating an OSS app that makes it easier to sell stuff on eBay. (Giving developers this kind of help is actually part of my job at eBay.) These guys just got into the planning stages of their project and are trying to settle on a choice of language/framework/etc. They want to use a client/server architecture which actually makes a lot of sense for a variety of reasons mostly having to do with caching and handling eBay data from eBay's API in an intelligent way. It's my intuitive sense that C#/Mono may be a good choice for this kind of project. Maintainability and developer productivity is a big deal with custom eBay clients that use the API because eBay changes so frequently, and I've had to agonize with developers that have made sub-optimal language and architecture choices in the past and paid for it dearly as their applications implode repeatedly. However, they're gravitating to C++, at least for their server piece, which may be a good choice for the lead developer(s) who I think already knows C++, but may be a sub-optimal choice for the project in general. I fear that they may be in when you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail mode. One tactical thing they seem to be getting hung up on is the fact that you need to run Mono apps with a command line (and, secondarily, an executable that ends in *.exe reeks of evil Windows; I explained to them that this is what chmod +x is for, but anyway). My questions are: - Do you have good evangelism tactics for Linux developers who evaluate Mono and find it somehow un-Unix-like? - Is there a technical answer to the mono my.exe command-line objection? - Is there an elegant solution for distributing the Mono framework onto client machines today? - Are there examples of functioning high-performance client/server apps running on Mono today? I suspect that this kind of discussion will be useful in a general-purpose sense as you take the message of Mono out to the rest of the universe, but feel free to respond to me privately if you like. If you're interested, the original discussion is over on the Gentoo forums here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=123105 Thanks, Jeffrey ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
