[Mono-list] Web garden on Mono

2008-04-03 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
In the ASP.NET/IIS world, a web garden (multiple CPUs) are handled with a
separate process for every processor.

Does Mono have an equivalent mechanism for taking advantage of multiple
CPUs?

How does PL/Java work? MS-Sql handles this by bundling in the .NET CLR.
However, I think Postgres shouldn't go down that route.

[Mono-list] NauckIT PostgreSQL provider working with Mono?

2008-03-26 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hello, I was about to start on Forms Authentication with Postgres in .NET on
Mono.
I found this message from Kevin:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-list@lists.ximian.com/msg23395.html
but didn't find any responses.

I was wondering whether anyone got this working, and has any documentation

Re: [Mono-list] Nested Master Pages support?

2008-03-25 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
I found that Nested Master Pages actually work in .NET 2.0; only Visual
Studio 2005 didn't have support; Visual Studio 2008 does. Adding the Mono
Develop team to the loop.
I'll try this out this weekend.

Re: [Mono-list] Suggestion: Mono 1.2.6 / openSUSE 10.3 VMware Image-SCSI instead of IDE

2008-03-03 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
If you install VMware Server (or even Player, I think), it comes with:
vmware-vdiskmanager.exe, which I believe can convert IDE disks to SCSI. If
you do that manually, you need to change the vmx file to point to the SCSI
disk instead of IDE.
Does SCSI support sound like a feature request for Kiwi/qemu-img, given its
high level goals?

Re: [Mono-list] [MonoDevelop] Typed dataset issue

2008-02-24 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
I am just starting out on my personal project with Mono & Postgres. Your
input & views have been invaluable. Thanks a ton.
I'm also adding mono-list to the loop, so that they can consider adding
support for these frameworks.

I am currently familiar with just ADO.NET, and I think the best option for
me is to use Castle.ActiveRecord with nHibernate. Comments/opinions welcome.
During my research, this is what I had chanced upon:
http://www.howtoselectguides.com/dotnet/ormapping/
I found this post interesting:
http://tanveerbadar.wordpress.com/2007/10/14/linqentity-framework-vs-nhibernate/
but think it is outdated, since nHibernate has a LINQ subproject.

Thanks again

Re: [Mono-list] Ajax framework recommendations request for Mono

2008-02-22 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Here's the actual text of what they have on their website:
I used to think that GNU licensed products are free to use as is, unless I
actually modify the product.

I'm a little disappointed at the lack of opinions on a Ajax
framework for Mono on the list; I was sure there are a lot of Ajax
superstars on this list. If I do some research on this, I'll share my
findings.

*End User License Agreement
**
Most users that wants to download Gaia will be better off with the Trial
Version of Gaia Ajax Widgets

The GPL version do restrict you into GPL licensing your own derived products
if you redistribute those products.

Note also that since Gaia Ajax Widgets have a fairly large amount of
JavaScript it is considered a redistribution merely putting your application
online onto the internet! Either publicly available or available to anyone
outside of your employer's employee list!

If you download the Trial Version you will get in addition to the complete
library all the samples which can be found in the Samples Section of this
website. These are not included in the GPL download. The trial version will
work for one month before you need to take a stand towards Buying, finding
another Ajax vendor or GPL license your own software! [or in any other ways
meet the terms of the GPL license]

It may sound as we're trying to discourage you from using our GPL version,
but we have experienced that not all of our users truly understands the
implications of using the GPL version and therefore we're trying to route
those to downloading our Trial Version instead. But we're really eager for
people building Free Software, we just want to be sure you're choosing the
right version for your needs and that you truly understands the implication
the GPL license have on your own products!

If you still want to download the GPL version you're totally free to do so,
and we wish you a great development time utilizing it! You're also free to
post in our forums as the paid users are doing mostly to get support from
us. We just want to make sure you're choosing the right version for the
right job!
**
Now if you're uncertain if you can use the GPL version you probably CAN'T
and you would probably be better of with the Trial Version
**
Download Trial Version **

However if this explanation made you even MORE certain that the GPL version
is the version you need you can download it now after complying with the
terms by checking out the checkboxes and then getting the download link
enabled!
**
Read the GPL License!
Yes I have read and understood the GPL License!
Yes I will use this product only to develop applications which are meeting
the GPL License terms!
No I don't intend to develop and distribute Gaia applications with this
product without redistributing their complete source code!
Yes I know that by merely putting my Gaia application onto the internet I am
effectively redistributing my application and are therefore obliged to also
supply the source code of my application to everyone that uses my
application if I build it with the GPL version of Gaia!
You must verify that you have read and understood the license terms of the
GPL version in order to download it!**

True. But even just using it on the website as is results in the javascript
being 'distributed', which they clearly state on the download page after
registering. Which means that I can't use their product for any
closed-source code, unless I buy the commercial license.
The GPL does work differently for Ajax frameworks. That's why MagicAjax uses
LGPL, while Anthem uses GPL with a clause allowing this redistribution.

I did some research & found that even just using it on my application is
considered redistribution, which means any website code I write has to be
open-source as well.
Is there any other Ajax framework that is less restrictive in its licensing?

[Mono-list] Request for Nested Masterpages + my mono wishlist

2008-02-20 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hello,

In ASP.NET 3.5, one feature that I find very useful is Nested Master
Pages.Hoping this feature will make it into one of the earlier mono
releases.

I like the responsiveness and support of the people in this forum. I have
decided to go with Mono with ASP.NET for
my venture. I am very new to Linux, and have loads to learn.

My wishlist so far:

   1. Nested Master Pages
   2. Compacting Garbage Collector
   3. Workflow Foundation with ASP.NET
   4. Web parts support. Once that is in place, enable Web parts for
   Mojoportal in the VM image.
   5. VM Image: Ajax samples. Preferably MojoPortal with Ajax support.
   6. VM Image: SCSI disk
   7. VM Image: VMware Tools
   8. VM Image: PgAdmin (preferably part of Yast's supported packages on
   OpenSuse)
   9. VM Image: Sample NUnit GUI tests
   10. Updated roadmap on the wiki with realistic dates for expected
   features.
   11. Mono equivalent for .NET compact framework for mobile devices
   12. Ubuntu: Mono latest version releases
   13. Ubuntu: Monodevelop latest version releases
   14. Organized Wiki documentation with sitemap


Thanks everyone!

[Mono-list] Mono 1.2.6 / openSUSE 10.3 VMware Image-VMware tools please

2008-02-19 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hi,

Installing VMware tools greatly increases the responsiveness of the VM such
as mouse movement, capture (and I think also improves networking) etc. I
tried installing it, running the rpm through Yast, but have failed so far
(am a Linux newbie).

I know I said this earlier, but you must have decided against installing it,
maybe owing to the file size. Please consider adding VMware tools to the
image itself.

I saw phpPgAdmin installed; great; however would prefer PgAdmin in its
place.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

[Mono-list] Suggestion: Mono 1.2.6 / openSUSE 10.3 VMware Image-SCSI instead of IDE

2008-02-16 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hello, the VM image works great with VMware player/server, and I loved
MojoPortal on it.
However, a lot of corporations use VMware ESX server, which supports only
SCSI disks on a VM.
This VM image uses an IDE disk. Changing it use a SCSI disk when building
the image should be pretty easy. If you can do that, it would be great, and
would help propagation of the image.

[Mono-list] Support for .NET compact framework?

2008-01-31 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hello,

Is there support for the ASP.NET compact framework for mobile applications?
Is that planned for development at all? I couldn't find any references to it
in the RoadMap.

Also, in general, I find that the Mono website has a wealth of information,
but it is hard to get to any of the links. Some breadcrumbing &
site-navigation would be nice.

Thanks
Swaminathan

[Mono-list] Stable version of Mono release-when?

2008-01-27 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hello,

I contacted Ubiquity Hosting about their Mono support. They support the last
stable version: 1.1.13.8.2.

I am looking to run one of the later 1.2 Mono versions, preferably the
latest supported. Do you have any plans or estimated time for marking a
release as stable?

Thanks
Swaminathan

[Mono-list] OpenSuse Mono VMware image feedback

2008-01-27 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hello,

I am from the Windows/ASP.NET world & just starting out with Mono. I tried
out the OpenSuse Mono VMware image. Here's my feedback based on my first
use:

   1. Apache with Mono: Most deployment environments run on Apache with
   Mono. If this VM image can have such an environment available by default, in
   addition to testing, it will be useful for testing real-world deployments.
   2. VMware Tools: The mouse usage is clunky on Ubuntu Gutsy. It will be
   nice if you have VMware tools installed by default.
   3. Postgres: For us coming from the Sql Server world & GUI tools, a
   Postgres installation with PgAdmin for managing them will be very useful.

Thanks

[Mono-list] Starting MONO ASP.NET development: Tips/Gotchas request

2008-01-22 Thread Swaminathan Saikumar
Hello,

I'm from the Windows ASP.NET world & am just starting out with Linux & Mono.

I plan to develop & run ASP.NET applications on Linux with PostGreSql. I
would love suggestions on:

   1. Linux distributions: OpenSuse vs Ubuntu vs Fedora.
  - I installed OpenSuse 10.1 earlier. After a kernel update &
  reboot, the UI crashed & I had trouble recovering my data.
Finally switched
  to Ubuntu, which worked without issues for me, but is lagging
behind in Mono
  support.
  2. ASP.NET Server technology for deployment: Apache vs FastCGI
   vs XSP. I keep hearing from friends that Apache is hard to configure, and my
   attempt at installing mod_mono on Ubuntu 64 failed. Any pointers will be
   appreciated.
   3. Development tool for Linux: MonoDevelop vs Eclipse. If Eclipse,
   which C# plugin is best?
   4. Can someone update the roadmap for Mono 2.0 please; past dates are
   shown? http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_Project_Roadmap

Thanks
Swaminathan
