With .Net what is the best way to interact with a service (i.e. how do most tray-apps communicate with their servers). It would be preferred if this method would be cross-platform as well (working in Mono, so I guess remoting is out?) Edit: Forgot to mention, we still have to support Windows 2000 machines in the field, so WCF and an...
MonoDevelop 1.0 doesn't appear to have a code-formatter like Eclipse does for Java. Is there a preferred shell script (or MonoDevelop add-in?) that you've found to work well? ...
I've seen there are a few of them. opencvdotnet, SharperCV, EmguCV, One on Code Project. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? I played around with the one on Code Project for a bit, but as soon as I tried to do anything complicated I got some nasty uncatchable exceptions (i.e. Msgbox exceptions). Cross platform (support...
How solid is Mono for C# development on Linux and OS X? I've been thinking about learning C# on the side, and was wondering if learning using Mono would suffice. ...
I have a GTK notebook with multiple tabs. Each tab label is a composite container containing, among other things, a button I want to use to close the tab. The button has a handler for the "clicked" signal. When the signal is called, I get the button widget and "EventArgs" as a parameter. I need to determine the page number based on t...
I have recently gained access to a Mac. I am wondering if anyone has any tips/advice for setting up Mono on a mac for development and execution of ASP.NET? Most resources point to Linux implementations which tend to differ a lot from the way Mac's do things. Any tips or advice would be helpful ...
I really want to write .NET apps that run on any platform (PC, Linux and Mac). I am not really concerned about UI capabilities because these are mostly background services. I have heard of MONO and that it allows you to write .NET apps that run on Mac and Linux, but I want to be able to write a single app that when compiled for Windows...
I am looking for a high-performance graphic library for .NET and Mono. I have taken a look at Tao framework and, while it is very complete, it's quite lacking in terms of usability. It should be cross-platform compatible. What other alternatives worked for you? ...
This is a follow up to another question. What is the best OpenGL wrapper usable both under Linux and Windows, with Mono (or .Net)? I have already evaluated Tao Framework, but I am unimpressed by how the APIs are put together. Any other better options? ...
(I asked this question in another way, and got some interesting responses but I'm not too convinced.) Is Mono's GtkSharp truly cross-platform? It seems to be Gnome based... how can that work with PC and Mac? Can someone give me examples of a working Mac/PC/Linux app that is written with a single codebase in Microsoft .Net? ...
This is my setting: I have written a .NET application for local client machines, which implements a feature that could also be used on a webpage. To keep this example simple, assume that the client installs a software into which he can enter some data and gets some data back. The idea is to create a webpage that holds a form into which...
What is the best way to access a running mono application via the command line (Linux/Unix)? Example: a mono server application is running and I want to send commands to it using the command line in the lightest/fastest way possible, causing the server to send back a response (e.g. to stdout). ...
I'm using code that I found on the CodeProject.com for a low-level keyboard hook. The only problem is it uses external DLL calls that don't work in mono. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to accomplish the same thing as that code, but will run in both Windows using .net, and Linux using mono? Edit: Clarifying what I'm trying to...
I have a C# interface with certain method parameters declared as object types. However, the actual type passed around can differ depending on the class implementing the interface: public interface IMyInterface { void MyMethod(object arg); } public class MyClass1 : IMyInterface { public void MyMethod(object arg) { My...
In C#, I find myself occasionally wanting to register a method for an event in the middle of a dispatch of that same event. For example, if I have a class that transitions states based on successive dispatches of the same event, I might want the first state's handler to unregister itself and register the second handler. However, I don'...
Do you know of any .NET library which can decode several types of audio files? Ideally, it should be platform agnostic, so it can be used with .NET and Mono - on Windows and *NIX. I already tortured Google searching for a library which meets my needs, but unfortunately I could not find anything. So before writing a lot of wrapper classe...
I'm wondering if mono.net is included in the default installation of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Fedora, and other popular distros? If so, does anyone have a good reason why NOT to use it to develop a new GUI application targeted mainly for linux? ...
With what GUI framework is the Mono .NET Windows.Forms implemented? Example: KDE, Gnome, X11 itself? ...
What are my options? I tried MonoDevelop over a year ago but it was extremely buggy. Is the latest version stable a stable development environment? ...
mono creates its own debug targets called .mdb files when you use the mcs compiler. is there a way of using NCover or another code coverage tool with Mono? a commandline tool would be better so I can add it to our continuous integration server. ...
