Jambunathan,
Thank you so much for your detailed and encouraging replies.
I am pretty much a noob as far as the linux/open source software world.
Consequently, I have never built an app by checking the code out from cvs and
building the app from the checked out source. I guess building mono from CVS
would be the next step because the newer version may have the VB runtime issue
I'm running into fixed already. I'm not really sure what the steps are to do
this. I have a linux box too, but I'd like to stick to Windows for now because
DotNetNuke is highly dependant on SQL server (lots of stored procedures) and
I'd like to try to see if I can get it running using SQL Server first, then
look into what it would take to port the DB stuff to PostgreSQL or MySQL.
I recently purchased the Mono Developers Notebook, I think it has instructions on building Mono from source on Windows so I'll enter into a learning process and take that on, then try again with the newer version of Mono.
If folks can suggest a link to a tutorial on the process of building apps from source on Windows, that would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael Bradley
Theoretically, it should run on Mono, even though it's written in VB(isn'tthis true?) because the application is compiled to IL. So Monoshouldn't needto compile any VB, just compile or interpret the IL.
Very much true.
Well, if it's a pre-compiled Microsoft's IL then there should be no issues, except possibly for some yet to be identified glitches in Microsoft.VisualBasic runtime, which we will be happy to address in no time :-)
(Just to clarify on my earlier posting, if you would like to build the dll using mbas, we aren't there yet.)
Anybody done this?
I am not aware of any.
Regards, Jambunathan K.

The core team has talked about porting it, there's even a csharpNuke.com website. However, no c# version has yet been made available and various posts on the DotNetNuke forum leads me to believe it will be some time (if ever) before a c# port is done.
I was hoping maybe someone else has tried to run DNN on Mono. I'ts a very capable and easy to use portal framework which I'm already familiar with.

So Mono shouldn't need to compile any VB, just compile or interpret the IL.

I would start off by grabbing the c# version of dotnetnuke because Iam(string,bool)unsure if the vb support is 100% in mono right now.

Hello,
I tried running the DotNetNuke open source ASP.NET portal system using XSP (mono
1.0.2 installed on WindowsXP). I got the following error messages:

I'm pretty new to Mono and not a .NET expert (though I have developed a couple
of small and simple web applications using Visual Studio and ASP.NET)not sure what the above error message is telling me. I *think* what's going on
is that something in the VB runtime threw an exeption?
Is this something that can be easily addressed? Can someone more knowledgeable
point me in the right direction? Or should I just hold off on running
DotNetNuke on Mono until better compatibility with stuff written in VB has been
established?
Thanks,
