Dang, several months ago I sepnt several weeks searching for a charting library that would run under Mono. I found the same problem with the big guys like Dundas, for one thing, they often make registry calls that fail on Mono (because the Wine registry isn't as complete as a true Windows machine I guess??).
Also they often make P/Invoke calls to Win32 to support license valdation (apparently). I've contacted several of these big .NET 3rd party control vendors and have been told that Mono is not in their near term plans. This is both unfortunate and potentially very fortunate for some entrprising person/people. NPlot looks cool, I wish I had found it instead of doing the custom charting stuff (basic really). I will defintely look at using it in the next version of our product. Thanks Miguel for your, as always, thougtful and precise responses. --- Miguel de Icaza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > > Thanks to the respondees (sp?) so far. > > > > Jonathan's email hits a few nails on the head from > > what I can see.
