Building and running VS2005 project on linux with MonoDevelop?

Question

Hi - I have a VS2005 project that I'm trying to run on linux. First - is it even possible? The project is .NET 2.0, and I have mono JIT 2.0.1 on my linux machine. The project builds successfully in monodevelop, but when I run it I get the exception stack:

Unhandled Exception: System.NotImplementedException: The requested feature is not implemented.

at System.Data.DataViewManager.System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator () [0x00000]

at System.Windows.Forms.ListBindingHelper.GetListItemType(System.Object dataSource, System.String dataMember) [0x00000]

at System.Windows.Forms.ListBindingHelper.GetListItemType(System.Object list) [0x00000]

at System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource.SetList (IList I) [0x00000]

...

Am I missing some assemblies, or am I just looking for something that can't be done? I don't do that much .NET programming as it is, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on this one.

Answer 1

It looks like that method is implemented in newer versions of Mono. (2.0 is about a year old.)

If you want to scan your assemblies with MoMA, it will tell you which methods you use that Mono does not support.

Answer 2

I think you'll find mono is (or at least used to be) a bit spotty on things like grids and dataviews and datagrids.

Update to the latest mono and tell us if it works!
