hi Jan

The java can be used co-ixed with c# and i'm fairly sure there is no difficulty with mono - the java will just run - i just lack the experiance with mono as i dont use it yet - i tend to do alot of windows GUI development and need SWF to be working before i can swap over meaningfully.

ps i think you can also just do mono somejavaapp.jar and it will work

codeing is very simple

in a c# class you simply add java using the using declarations i.e.

using System;
using System.Windows.forms; // a C# lib
using Java.IO;  // a java Lib


namespace sometest
{

public class test1
{
        public test1()
        {
        /*
It's a funny old concept - but as both Laguages use ecma there is no change to syntax - all that happens is you have an additional set of namespaces - some of which duplicate functionality within the mono/.net framework
*/
                Java.IO.TextWriter tmp = new 
TextWriter("/home/jay/testfile.txt");
        tmp.writeLine("hello world");
        tmp.flush();
        tmp.close();
        }
}

}

HI Jay,

thanks for Reply.

Hm... I think, it will be my Problem too that it is Java :-)

And it sounds complicate.

And: If it is not sure that it will work with Mono...

Hi All,



does anyone have a Tip or an Idea, how it is possible to implement in an easy manner the Printing of small Reports?




I use fop as a frame work for printing reports that need some kind of smart page flow layout, for single page one offs - just draw to the print canvas - like you would if creating any other graphic.

my problem is that the fop project is java, on MS you simply includes the java Libs for .net and use the nfop project (some one made the nessesary changes) I have no idea how this translates to mono. One day i may get arround to rewriting as a native c# Lib as it's my big itch so to speak - but as always its a time thing

use xml for data output, then xslt to generate the xsl-fo then process with the fop engin to get the pdf, ps or other pagainated format . worth noteing is there is no to canvas type option yet i.e. for a print preview - as the tool was devleoped to be used in an apache/cocoon env

hope that helps - Ps the xml-fo stuff can be a bit of a pain, but dont forget that it also supports svg and inline bitmap formats, so use sodipod or scribus for prototyping the pages etc . then cut up the xml for the report

expect a learning curve on the xslt but once you have these skills, you'll wonder why people still spend stupid ammounts of money on inferior technology

NB: for someting really simple i suppose you can just generate the xml-fo directly and sent to the fop engine.




And if it will run with Mono and IIS ?



I found a lot of Samples in Internet (f.e. www.codeproject.com <http://www.codeproject.com/>) – but they looks to complicate. Must I use Chrystal? Does it run with Mono?



I think about a Solution, that generates a specific new Page in a new Explorer-Window – and that’s all. But I did not have any Idea, how I can do that.



Thanks a lot for any Help!!
