Hi,
mcs -r:Microsoft.Visual.Basic.dll ... and you can use that code snippet.
The code is in mono-basic/vbruntime/Microsoft.VisualBasic/... (i.e. not

How to implement method below in Mono in C# ?
I havent from StrLike implementation in MCS source code.
Since VB Like operator requires this it must be implemented somewhere.

public static bool Like(string pattern, string source)

Yeah, I didn't follow the original link, my apologies... Though for my mileage I'd still rather do it in RegEx's for ultimate conceptual portability, I certainly see your point. (I think the thread provided the relatively simple Like Operator to RegEx mapping function, and a poster made the very valid point that advanced users might appreciate the RegEx power over the Like simplicity.)

[Mono-list] Maemo Handheld SDK and Mono
So there's an upcoming Linux-based Nokia handheld device which seems very interesting for a host of reasons (form factor, price, capabilities, open SDKs): http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/770 The SDK is Maemo, and is open source. However, it's C++-based. Yech. On the surface it seems like getting Mono to run on it won't be so bad. Does that seem true? The one trick is that they define there own set of UI helpers (possibly on top of GTK+), and I suppose I'd have to develop shims to map to those APIs from Mono. http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html If others are interested, perhaps we can have an off-list chat about what it would take and who can do what... --Max -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nimrod A.

RE: [Mono-list] Ask Microsoft: Mono support
Not only can't it come as a surprise, we should all nod our heads in agreement... There's no question that MSFT .Net on Windows is more complete and more solid than Mono right now. It's ok, we shouldn't expect it to be different yet. I would argue that even Linux, with it's much longer history and incredibly greater amount of resource and effort, is just over the last year approaching the stability and completeness of Windows in certain markets. Somebody said in IRC that based on code count, mono so far is estimated to have cost under $1m in Novell-paid time to write.

I agree that ease of use and standardization is needed on Linux platforms. Mono provides exactly that. I've been programming mostly with Microsoft Visual C# for the past year or two and I find it fairly easy to learn to program with C# on Mono. If I had to use another language, I'd be completely lost. I'm only guessing, but Mono could lead to a flood of applications being developed for Linux platforms which would only increase the attraction to Linux. I like Microsoft products because so many people are using them that there's quite a body of knowledge floating around amongst general users, but I'm not opposed to competition. I find Linux to be difficult to work with, but I'm sure it's only because I'm unfamiliar with it. Competition is a good thing for consumers.

RE: [Mono-list] Is Mono ready to compete with MS .NET in realbusiness?
To assert that VIM is good enough is exactly why Mono (the overall concept) is not competitive as a *business* development platform yet. Is it suitable for some people and tasks? Definitely. It's also suitable for people who want to contribute their time to improving it, who don't want to pay for or don't need a more full featured development environment, or who enjoy tweaking for educational purposes. But for business development, sort of by definition, it's not there. I've been programming for 15 years, on both Unix'en and MSFT platforms at various times, and I know there are pluses and minuses to both; I'm not a MSFT blind follower. But there is no minus to having a usable debugger, or auto statement completion, or an integrated help system. They speed up development time, full stop. That doesn't mean I need a class browser or some form building widget, although again many businesses will view that as part of being competitive. As importantly, there IS an inherent disadvantage to having to spend a huge amount of time recreating or improving all these things. Someone has to do it, no question, and those people are rightfully revered and appreciated in open source efforts. But for most business applications, the owner of the business is not going to see value in the person who was supposed to be writing the WidgetManager app working on a new debugger for a programming language. Their time is more expensive than Windows + VS.Net + a new car. So again, I love Mono, and I look for places where I can be helpful by lending stuff I know that maybe other people might have a harder time finding out, or where I'm particularly suited or interested in a particular feature. But in the end, as a guy in a small startup company, I can't spend the huge amount of time (and therefore money) required to build a debugger or get Mono fully working on OS X, even though I wish I could, and so I wait. And unless the original poster is in a position to do this, I would still submit that the answer to his question, right now, is no, Mono is not competitive with MSFT in real business yet. Heck, part of the brilliance of Mono is that it doesn't HAVE to be competitive in all aspects yet. It embraces and extends MSFT.Net. You want to use VS? Sure, have a ball with all the widgets and doo-hingies. Then run it on MacOSX or Linux using the same binary. Finally, somebody realized the way to take on MSFT is to beat them at their own game. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Vose Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 1:48 PM To: mono-list mailing list Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Is Mono ready to compete with MS .NET in realbusiness?

But the development environment *is* there as far as some people would be concerned, vim has come with C# syntax highlighting and indenting rules for a while now and quite frankly that is more than some people need. The development environment isn't the language. The language (that is the compiler, the runtime environment and the libraries) is a tool, just as the editor you might prepare the source code in is. I guess this divergence of viewpoints is an amusing consequence of the strange nexus around mono - on the one hand those coming from the MS side and used to the monolithic application and on the other those coming from the more tools oriented approach that arises in the Unix world. That is already a great thing, so it's not a knock on Mono or peoples' efforts, but there's still work to be done. But probably by others than the core mono developers. That's the funny thing about open source projects - people tend to concentrate on the things that they think are important. I generally find that if one disagrees with those priorities then the best way to sort it out is by supplying some code oneself. /J\ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of PFJ Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 4:55 AM To: mono Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Is Mono ready to compete with MS .NET in realbusiness?

The big difference is that (I would guess) the majority of those working on Mono aren't on the Novell payroll - it's the biggest difference between Open and Closed source.

Were going with a solution based dev environment, but with Nant doing the real builds by referencing the proj files. Well be using NUnit and log4net for their respective purposes, and heavily separating all Win service, GUI, and command line type interfaces away from the core frameworks. So Im sure there will be cases where certain projects simply dont work on Mono, but hopefully Nant will help us out in making that easy to setup.

[Mono-list] MacOS X, a debugger, and visual studio
Hi. Im trying to port an app built with Visual Studio. Its a Windows service app, but we can modify that or refactor it if necessary. My problem is that Ive successfully built the app, but it doesnt run and I cant seem to get any sort of dev env or debugger running. Ive tried to run through all the various attempts at getting mono.develop to work, and other than 3 days worth of builds, I have not much to show for it. And it also seems that even those who have gotten mono.develop to work have it crashing all the time. So I guess my questions are: 1) Is there a working debugger for mono on the Mac? How do I get it? Fink? Martins 0.9 release with some magic incantation? (it complains about a missing mach-o.c now) 2) If you were going to make small edits to a VS based project, what would you do? Emacs nant? XCode? 3) Less important: I must have a whole mess of junk now from all my fink installs, builds, etc. I havent a clue where all this stuff is littered over the drive. Other than fink remove and deleting my build dirs, how could I start over with mono related stuff? Thanks, sorry if this is too newbie, but if I cant find it on google Ill venture that at least Im not a total idiot. J
