This is a good first step. Now, you need to compile your own Mono from CVS, because the System.Web code has changed tremendously since the official release. Once you get your CVS version of Mono running, get the `xsp' module, which contains a test server for ASP.NET, and start throwing .aspx programs at it (I suggest we test all of the demos from the asp.net quickstart tutorials first, and then move on to more complex applications). As you test, you will run into various bugs that will require investigative work, debugging works, and implementation work. > I'm all over it, just tell me how to get started.

A howto would be awesome, but the interesting thing about asp.net is that most knowledge can be transfered from Microsoft .NET to Mono without changes. As for documentation: Duncan has been working on the gtk# front-end to author documentation for us, but I have always wanted to have also an asp.net authoring tool. This could be also a test case for it ;-) Miguel _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
