Hello,
I've done a little research on mono's implementation of WinForms and to be
honest, its pretty ugly under Mac and some features do not work under Linux. I
have an assignment to find out the best way to create nice multiplatform UI
using C#, so mono seems like only opportunity atm. But as i mentioned, WinForms
on Mac do not look so good.
So i thoughed if there is possibility to use this nice new
SilverLight/MoonLight thingy, as i understand that there is no way to make
desktop WPF programs under mono yet.
But the requirements are to also call system functions and get access to
filesystem etc, but this is not allowed from SilverLight. So i made a little
test app with SilverLight that sends POX messages to webservice, that makes
these system calls. Works nice in IIS and webservice works nice under XSP
server also, but it seems that SilverLight 1.1 app does not work under XSP :-(
And the bad thing is that SilverLight can communicate only with webservices
under same webserver, so no possibility to use mix of XSP and IIS.
So my question is if maybe someone has any idea of how to use SilverLight or
WPF or something like this for multiplatform desktop apps?
Btw i used XSP from 1.2.5.1 release.
Thanks in advance,
Tiit
