Hi, I'm working on a online quiz client where we use a dedicated custom-made linux distro which contains only the quiz client software along with text editors and other utility software. When the user has started the quiz, I want to prevent him/her from minimizing the window/closing it/switching to the desktop or other windows. The quizz...
Let's say I need to use Python and C++. I can call Python function from C++ with Python C API, and reverse is possible with SWIG or equivalent. How about .NET? I know there are IronPython and C# that finally produces .NET assembly. Is there any well-defined language interoperability mechanism in .NET so that one can use whatever functi...
Mono is really awesome. Some of our applications worked in linux out of the box even without recompiling the binary. However I am having tough time to configure oracle instantclient to use it with mono. I installed instantclient on a CentOS VM(by installing instantclient rpm) but however I did not find TNSNAMES.ORA anywhere. I searche...
I'm developing for the iPhone using C# and Mono's Full AOT technology. According to their Limitations page (link text), unlike traditional Mono/.NET, code on the iPhone is statically compiled ahead of time instead of being compiled on demand by a JIT compiler. When running on the hardware, the following exception occurs: ExecutionEngin...
I know with .NET we can host wcf service from a console application without the need of webservers like IIS or apache. Is it possible to do the same with Mono 2.6.1 on a RHEL 5 or CentOS? Any links to any documentation will be highly helpful. ...

Right, so if you have to decide on a server-side language for a distributed Linux-based server backend, would you choose: PHP Mono ASP.net Java Python (I've just added this because Google use it) As a C++ programmer, I'm thinking Java+Tomcat, but I'd love to hear experienced thoughts here, especially relating to debugging and IDE (li...
[edit] Found the solution. Reinstall EVERYTHING - xcode, mono, monodevelop and monotouch. Now it works. yay. [/edit] I've had Xcode (3.2.1 - SnowLeopard, iphone 3.1.3) installed for a while, and I can run and build apps on it fine. I installed MonoTouch, as I want to leverage the 8+ years of .NET skills I have :) So I installed: M...
Hi, I have a GTK button on my GUI app, however, the hover effects are different for both Linux and Windows: Heres Linux: http://imgur.com/DKAy6 Heres Windows: http://imgur.com/v0FFU I did not do anything fancy to the animations, in fact, the animation is default, how can I make it uniform?

I read this article by Miguel de Icaza on attaching an assembly into a live mono process. How is this any different to attaching a DLL to a running process? I do this already, but once the DLL is attached, it can't be unloaded without using an AppDomain (which I am trying to avoid). Miguel talks about "patch[ing] running programs", but...
Mono won't fire the following code: I get internal server error 500, error writing request error. Code works perfectly under normal .net.... any ideas why its broken and how to fix it?

Hi guys, I'm using GTK Sharp to work on some GUI for my app. Take a look at this chunk of code: Pango.FontDescription fontdesc = new Pango.FontDescription(); fontdesc.Family = "Sans"; //fontdesc.Size = 12; fontdesc.Weight = Pango.Weight.Semibold; SyncInfo.ModifyFont(fontdesc); Gdk.Color fontcolor = new Gdk.Color(255,255,255); SyncInf...

Say I had a directory structure that looks like this: Directory1 SubDirectory1 SubDirectory2 SubSubDirectory1 SubDirectory3 Directory2 How would I show this tree structure w...
We have implemented SSO in a .NET web application using Windows Identity Foundation (WIF). It works great. However, we have to run it on a UNIX system using Mono. Is that possible? ...
Hello there, Does anyone tell me if it's possible to use WCF without .NET 3.0? Our company develops a 3-tier client-server end-user solution based on .Remoting. One of the limitation of our project is using .NET 2.0. Unfortunately .NET 3.0 framework is too large to be included in our installation package and I don't know if MS license ...

I have a simple code byte[] buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("abracadabra"); MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); DeflateStream ds = new DeflateStream(ms, CompressionMode.Compress, false); ms.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); DeflateStream ds2 = new DeflateStream(ms, CompressionMode.Decompress, false); byte[] buffer2 = new byte[ms.Leng...
There is an insightful question about reading a C/C++ data structure in C# from a byte array, but I cannot get the code to work for my collection of big-endian (network byte order) bytes. (EDIT: Note that my real struct has more than just one field.) Is there a way to marshal the bytes into a big-endian version of the structure and then ...
