Use our Mono Migration Analysis tool to check if everything that your application uses has been implemented in Mono or if there are special considerations to keep in mind. The Mono API today is somewhere in between .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, see our Roadmap for details about what is implemented.

Not yet, but the client side API for authentication is not the problem. We will likely have a lot of other authentication APIs, like the Liberty Alliance APIs. The problem is people on the web provider end that might use this for authentication.

The service has been tested with a C# client auto-generated from WSDL by the wsdl.exe tool. It should work fine from any .NET language.

I have code snippets that I use often. How can I manage them so I can easily used them? In Visual Studio, you can store commonly used code snippets on a tab (other than the Clipboard ring) in your Toolbox. You use drag and drop techniques to move the...

Use the ToolboxItem attribute set to false on your component or control class. This will prevent it from appearing in the Toolbox. [ ToolboxItem( false ) ] public class MyComponent : Component{..} Contributed from George Shepherd's Windows Forms FAQ

No. While Visual Studio makes deploying "ClickOnce" applications simple, there are several other ways to deploy "ClickOnce" applications. The .NET Framework SDK includes a tool named MAGE(Manifest Editor & Generator) that provides both a UI (mageui...

Yes. By building a summing Y-cable (check out Why Not Wye) and connecting it to the MAIN OUTPUTS a mono signal may be obtained.

No, it will not. Microsoft Office is a Windows application. To learn more about running Windows applications on Intel UNIX systems refer to the Wine Project (http://www.winehq.com).

J. Henshaw asks "Is it possible to run both VB6 and VB.Net on the same machine,or do I have to remove VB6 to be able to use VB.NET", and the answer is a definite yes. You can run them both on the same machine. Many people, including myself, run VB6 on the same machine as their installation of Visual Basic .NET. If you look at this KB article from Microsoft Support, you will even see that it recommended to run VB6 and VB.NET on the same machine when upgrading projects from one to another.

Yes. In order to do this you will need to buy Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and a Client Access License for proper communication with the server. Team Explorer, which is included with Team Foundation Server, is a stand alone client that uses the Visual Studio 2005 shell providing a UI for source control, work item tracking and all the other features. For more information on licensing Visual Studio Team System (including Team Foundation Server) see the Team System Licensing White Paper.

Assuming that you have successfully installed C-Sharpener For VB, the menu option should automatically appear. If it doesn't appear, then try the following: Turn on the checkbox to the left of C-Sharpener For VB and click the OK button. The menu option should now appear.

The Visual Studio Express Editions are an expansion of the Visual Studio and SQL Server product line to include fun, simple and easy-to-learn tools for non-professional developers like hobbyists, students and novice developers who want to build dynamic Windows applications, Web sites, and Web services.

If doscmd will not suffice, the add-on utility emulators/pcemu emulates an 8088 and enough BIOS services to run many DOS text mode applications. It requires the X Window System.

You need to use a second instance of Visual Studio to debug the one that's running the code. Put your control on a form. Start a second instance of Visual Studio and choose the Debug | Processes menu item. Double-click devenv.exe and choose Common...

In VS2003, debug info for unmanaged code is turned off by default. This is why you will not see the call stack including code in the System DLLs. To enable debugging for unmanaged code go to your project properties dialog and turn on as shown here: Contributed...

Blue Ink was designed to work with Microsoft Visual Studio. Blue Ink's default set of templates output .sln and .proj files so you can immediately open and work with a generated solution using Microsoft Visual Studio. Yes, in most respects Blue Ink generated solutions are no different than manually coded solutions. Blue Ink generated solutions integrate fully with source control applications such as Microsoft SourceSafe either through Microsoft Visual Studio or externally.

No. QuickAdmin is a standard .NET control, so just needs to be referenced when compiling your C# code.

To my knowledge, none of the Cygwin developers have done this, but we have this report from the mailing list that it can be done this way: Use the impdef program to generate a .def file for the cygwin1.dll (if you build the cygwin dll from source, you will already have a def file) impdef cygwin1.dll > cygwin1.def Create a file "my_crt0.c" with the following contents #include <sys/cygwin.h> #include <stdlib.

This project is my hobby and the last thing I want to do in my spare time was use a language or environment I don't enjoy (I code on Macs during the day, and that's enough pain ^_^). I like C#, and I love Visual Studio. Just about any argument you can create against it can be countered, so don't even try. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it; I know that this is certainly my philosophy with other languages/environments!

Yes you can but it is relevant to use mono from the SVN repository, because the actual release (1.1.8-3) is not able to compile or execute that code. The RAPPTOR.Persistence MySQL driver works with the MySQL .net connector 1.0.4. Using the pooling in this connector makes a problem sometimes. This behavior is by design.

The answer for all of these examples is the same, you can use the classes and methods in System.Diagnostics.Process to accomplish these tasks and more. Example 1. Running a command line application, without concern for the results: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ Example 2. Retrieving the results and waiting until the process stops (running the process synchronously): Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _ Example 3.

Before the make install step on unix-y systems, dynamically built "executables" in a Subversion source tree are actually libtool-generated shell scripts which re-link and run the real binary.

By default, gcc will often optimize away private variables and functions, inlining the associated operations. This can complicate stepping through the code in a debugger. That's "dash ohh zero".) Alternately, you can make this change more permanent by running configure as follows: For a production install, remember to undo this operation before installing Subversion from source, by re-running make or configure without the extra flag.

Mainsoft for Java EE provides two new project types, Visual C# for Java EE and Visual Basic for Java EE, which are very similar to Visual Studio C# and VB project types. The Mainsoft project types extend multiple functionalities, such as: Build process: The Microsoft compiler creates the MSIL DLL and then invokes the Mainsoft for Java EE compiler. Once the build is complete, Mainsoft for Java EE deploys the final Web Java binary as a WAR (Web Archive) file, onto the Java EE application server.

Unfortunately not, since the Visual Studio Express Edition has a limited support for extensibility that does not match the tight integration needs of Mainsoft for Java EE. You need to install Visual Studio Standard or Professional Edition to use Mainsoft for Java EE.
