Hi everyone, First off, thank you to everyone on the Mono team! You are doing an excellent job and I don't doubt there are many people like me out there who have trouble free experiences and fail to give you any feedback until the day something doesn't go right.
I am working on a fairly large web application which has I have intended to run on Mono from day 1. Being a windows developer I worked on the project on my XP workstation (sharpdevelop, running the site in Personal web server from Visual Studio 2005) and porting the software over to debian/mono for testing. I have finally made the move to full time development on a debian workstation using Monodevelop and overall the transition was very smooth (congrats to the Monodevelop team also, its excellent!). (Side note: when i rebuild a web app from md while xsp2 is running my entire system crashes and I have to hit the reset button? Hd churns and it is possibly automatic assembly reloading in xsp2 similar to what happens under .net? Happen for anyone else?) We have run into issues with stability, where the web application (under xsp2), and the fixtures application (console app) both freeze randomly. I have not been able to pinpoint any particular point in the code where it fails. If I add tracing the program runs slower and freezes far less often. The faster the program is running the more likely it is to freeze. The application includes log4net, mysql provider, and httpwebrequest amongst other things. We have had some issues with httpwebrequest, notably for certain requests it fails every 3rd time. I am starting to believe that it may be the root of all of the freezes. When the application freezes i have to ctrl-z, kill -9 to kill the process. I've toyed with --trace extensively and not been able to specifically catch HttpWebRequest 'in the act' so I could be on the completely wrong path? I'm just looking for anyone having similar issues that can help guide me toward making some unit tests to demonstrate the problem so that I can resolve it or submit a bug. My system is a 6400 core2 running on the latest stable debian (i386/32bit), with mono 1.2.3.1 which I downloaded using apt-get from the unstable debian repository. Cheers for any advice, Mike Cleaver _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
