I'm just going to live with the fact that monodevelop isn't going to run on
My SuSE 9.2 Pro now that I've upgraded to Mono 1.1.7.  Everything else seems
to be working, so I'll consider myself fortunate that this is the only thing
I've lost.  Whoever posted the instructions for upgrading to Mono 1.1.7 made
it sound as simple as running a couple red carpet commands from the command
line.  It's not as easy as it was made to sound.

I'm trying to develop an application using Npgsql and ASP.NET on
Apache/Linux, and I don't have time to figure out why monodevelop isn't
working right now.  I'm having enough trouble figuring out how to set up
Npgsql using three different classes for the database communications, the
connections strings, and the business logic, so that everything is
abstracted and my connection strings don't show up every time there is an
error on one of my ASP.NET pages.

I can see your problem, Carl. It's tempting, isn't it, to say that it shouldn't be this way, but I think Adam made a good point about the maturity of monodevelop. Perhaps we shouldn't expect too much too soon. But I do hope that Novell (who I don't think are directly responsible for monodevelop, by the way) are listening and put some serious work into helping the monodevelop team get things sorted out. Maybe they already are.

As to your other problem, I use separate data access objects (remote objects as it happens) that are called from the presentation layer. The developer can therefore ensure that something sensible is returned from the call and decide what to do about it - like putting up an error page, or whatever. It's not too hard, so if you're interested in knowing more please feel free to contact me off-list and I'll give you what help I can.

Cheers

Peter
