I am using mono to develop several web services. One project is returning mostly DataSets (.net constructs) and the main program calling the web service is a C# app written in Visual Studio 2005. The web service is Mono 1.8 on Fedora Core 4. There was no problem handing data around between the two.

Another project is using a Mono web service to call another web service (windows 2000 .net) as well as running Stored procedures over ODBC on an AS400, SQL queries to a MS SQL server 200, and function calls to PostgreSQL.

I have often developed the WS on Mono/Linux and the client app on a windows machine using .net. I haven't had any real problems with it yet.

Hi, I have just installed Mono 1.9.1 and started reading docs and articles about it.
I have also installed XSP to try the .NET features.
I'm writing to ask you all an opinion about using mono in a project I'm invoved into.

My company has to develop a software that has to consume a Web Service developed in .NET.
We want to develop it using Java on a Linux box.
Since we are not guaranteed that the target web service has been developed using interopaerability guidelines and it delivers really complex data structures we are planning to develop a .NET Web Service client to get the data and make the transaltion into data structures that complie with guidelines like the one produced by http://www.ws-i.org/

This was leading us to develop our software using a Miscrosoft OS (Windows 2003 server) unitl we recognized the mono existence.

Our biggest concern using mono is that the target WS is developed in .NET on Microsoft platforms and they keep themselves extremely up to date with Microsoft new releases. Obviously they state to guarantee backward compatibility but.....

As I stated before I'm trying to use mono on my own but before going too far I would appreciate an opinion by long time users.

Thank in advance to everyone was patient enough to read my help request.
