Hello ;-) I'm a brazilian .Net programmer, working for Brazilian Federal Police, actually developing with Microsoft .Net (1.0). There is two questions that I would ask for the users of Mono (which is a VERY interesting way to make cross-plataform development). If any one could answer, thanx :D
1) I know is hard to answer this but, there is something that Mono cannot do. For exemple, most applications made for Visual Studio would run in Mono without problems (I know Mono doesn't have Microsoft Access and some other ADODB providers, but I'm asking, for example, simple applications (with WindowsForms), with SQL or FireBird, etc). 2) In my applications, I use some components made by a company called ComponentOne (the famous ComponentOne TrueDBGrid). Those libraries are made for Microsoft .Net Framework, and there is no source code (are proprietary controls). Mono would run a proprietary control or the control MUST be compiled in the running system (i.e. Linux or MacOSX). In other words: existing components for .Net would run in Mono or I must have specific versions to different plataforms? BTW, congrats to the Mono community. It's a amazing addition to the Linux community (specialy that is a Microsoft technology, and the "Microsoft" word would not be the determinant to the port of technology, like most Linuxers does). --- [] J�lio C�sar K�del G.
