We're in the process of creating a Silverlight project and wondered how we could validate/test if it would run on Moonlight. From regular .Net to Mono there is the Mono Migration Analyzer which generates a report on which methods are missing in Mono to provide full support. Are there any similar tools from Silverlight to Moonlight? ...
I installed the Moonlight SDK and Monodevelop (latest 2.1 trunk) on both SuSE and Mac OS X. I noticed System.Windows.Controls.dll is in the Moonlight SDK folder but I can't reference it in my project. Anyone know why I can't add a reference to this assembly? ...
I'm using the openSUSE 11.1 VM with the latest MonoDevelop 2.1 trunk and Moonlight SDK. I wanted to add ASP.NET MVC support but I can only find the 2.0.5 version in the repositories. Is there another repository where this can be found? ...
Silverlight stopped supporting PowerPC Macs after version 1.0. Will Moonlight 2.0 work on a PowerPC Mac? We are looking at writing the next generation of our product and we are considering Silverlight. However due to our existing customer base, we could not afford to cut off PowerPC Mac users at this time, and we'd like to avoid parall...
Hi everyone, I have just downloaded MonoDevelop 2.2 Beta 1 for OS X and I'm getting the error "Could not find respack" when building a Moonlight project. I have created it by using the Moonlight Application Project template, and it fails without making changes. Besides, the template adds some references which MonoDevelop can't resolve -...
I'm unable to build Mono Moonlight from trunk or from recent tarballs due to the build error below. This happens after Make successfully builds a few other subdirectories: make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dev/MonoTar/moonlight-1.99.5/src' Making all in class make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dev/MonoTar/moonlight-1.99.5/class' ...
Microsoft has all interest in preventing cross-platform software to happen. The incompatibility between Windows and Linux is the main reason why people don't migrate to Linux in large numbers. Both the Mono and Moonlight projects are trying to eliminate exactly this obstacle. Because of this, I wonder whether it isn't very risky to sta...
There is surprisingly little information on the internet regarding what Moonlight is exactly from a technical point of view. Is it correct to understand it as Mono-based CoreCLR + base libraries (the same .dlls as Silverlight has as part of the plugin itself)? Does this mean that if I have Silverlight 3.0 application and I reference ba...
Hi There, Has anyone used Moonlight for real time app development? Is it really worth spending time with it? -Fahad ...
I have tried the simple test "Silverlight 2.0 animation test" at http://bubblemark.com, surprisingly Moonlight provided only 26 fps on Linux. Windows/Silverlight 3 gave me 192 fps on the exact same machine. Why is Moonlight so much slower than Silverlight? This performance gap is really important if you are planning to develop high fps,...
Hi! I just got my first Android device, I love it... I also love the fact that you can create your own applications and distribute them as you please. I've read a little bit about Monodroid, and also that apparently Microsoft wants to put Silverlight on these devices, although there is not too much information about either of them... b...
According to the feature matrix of Monodevelop 2.2, debugging should be available on OSX if one installs Mono 2.6.3. I've done this on two of my Macs, but can't seem to get the Debug menuitem enabled - it stays disabled. The project type I'm trying to debug is a Moonlight project, and according to the preferences in Monodevelop, the Moon...
In 2008 Artur Carvalho asked for an Alternative IDE for Silverlight and was told to look at Visual Studio Express. Is that still the valid answer in 2010 or are there other IDEs one should consider (cost/ OS it runs on / stability)? I'm trying to get a feel for silverlight development before commiting cash. So I don't need enterprize ...
I look forward to develop a WPF MVVC application which is to be ran both on Windows with .Net Framework and Mac/Linux with Mono. As far as I understand the only part of of WPF implemented in Mono is Silverlight as Moonlight. As far as I've read it is possible to develop a standalone application with Silverlight 3, but is it possible wi...
Seems that Silverlight 4.0 supports UDP. Any version of Moonlight that supports UDP? ...
Hi. I've created Silverlight 4 control using visual studio and now I'm trying to launch it out of browser using moonlight (os openSuse 11.2). I've installed moonlight 2.99.0.7. On "Advanced" tab of moonlight configuration I've found checkbox "use firefox to execute out-of-browser application". But even after checking it's still impossib...
I'm currently building a corporate website using YUI. I have a Silverlight component left from a previous project. It's functionality is needed. Since this current project must support Linux I'm thinking of recreating it using Javascript. Using Moonlight would be an option - but the component relies on a few November 2009 Silverlight To...
Hello, I have fragmented mp4 files which are obtained via Smooth Streaming. I could not find any player for Linux to play these fragmented mp4 files. So i want to ask if there is a way to play these fragmented mp4 files? Or... Is there a way to do something with ffmpeg(or something like this) and play with a conventional video player. Or...
I have a few applications that might qualify for porting over to a Linux/Mac platform, but first I need to know what baseline of technology is safe for compatibility, what is marginal, and what is unsupported. Is there a consolidated list somewhere that helps me determine if my app even qualifies? What other resources should I be aware...
I'm looking for a local database for Moonlight. I checked EffiProz Silverlight database and it seems to work fine with moonlight Any other databases that work well with Moonlight? ...
