[Mono-list] Suse 9.2 Windows.Forms

2005-05-20 Thread Brown, Robert
I installed Mono 1.1.7 on Suse 9.2 Professional using Red Carpet.  I did
a quick test and I got a console app to run.  However, I was curious
about Windows.Forms support.  When I tried to execute an application
that had a form with a button on it.  I got an error saying that the
Windows.Forms namespace could not be found.  

My questions are:  

Even though the Windows.Forms namespace is still being worked on; is it
available on Suse 9.2 via Red Carpet?
If it is, does it have to be installed separately?

Thanks,
Robert

Actually.  I compiled it in VS.Net 2003 and SCP'd the exe over to Suse
and tried to run it.

I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me (i.e. just about anyone) 
would chip in, but since no-one has, perhaps it's worth saying that 
there have been issues with System.Windows.Forms, I understand.

So just as an experiment, perhaps you could try recompiling under mono 
and see if that works.  That'd be my next move anyway.

Cheers

What issues have you heard about? Things are working quite well, actually. 
There are a few controls (RichText, DataGrid, UpDown) that are still 
missing, but simple apps (and even not so simple ones) just run.

Shouldn't make much of a difference. I compile regularily with VS.Net and 
just run on Linux.

  Peter

Could you please provide the exact error? Is the libgdiplus RPM installed on 
your system?

Also, not sure you're aware, but there's a mailing list dedicated to 
winforms: mono-winforms-list@lists.ximian.com

Cheers,

Excellent, Peter, so you might like to give some help to the OP?

It was not included in 1.0. That's not an 'issue'. It was documented that 
it's not included. And the OP is not using 1.0.x

It was an issue for me trying to learn to use mono from books that said 
that SWF was working and having to find out for myself that it had been 
dropped in 1.0.x.  The answer I had in this group that explained all 
that to me also explained that the reason it had been dropped was 
because of issues.  It was Miguel who replied, I think.

I had no idea whether the new version worked well or not: and I was just 
trying to help.  If the new version works well, then I'm pleased for 
you, believe me.

It's no big deal.
Cheers
Peter
