Hi
Its not something that they can reasonably solve without a complete
model change, and then I suspect that they would still run into the
fundamental problem that Visual Studio itself will not open the same
file twice, in the context of two different projects. That's the
infamous "This file is open in another project" error.
These problems are just indicative of the fact that this solution is
totally ad hoc. There is a way to do target specific programming in an
OO language, and it is shared libraries with platform specific code in
platform specific libraries. The problem is that Microsoft totally
fucked us over by making it so that projects cannot target multiple
platforms. Since its impossible to do, people then figure, "Well if
I'm fucked anyway, I might as well start doing other things like using
partial classes and #if to include platform specific code". This is
not sound.
Why would partial classes be problem?
It is just splitting code into multiple files
* SomeClass.cs
common stuff/ base for me in WP7
* SomeClass.MTch.cs
MTch specific in MTch project
SomeClass is linked either with ProjectLinker or manually
* SomeClass.M4A.cs
M4A specific in M4A project
* repeat that for other targeting platforms
o SL,
o WF, WPF
those share the same codebase in BL
Sometimes we split classes into files when working in parallel on the
same platform...
I'd like to know (and stop if the reason is good enough for tradeoff)
why not to use partial classes.
So far haven't found a anything and when I see almost all designers are
using partial class concepts
to hide generated code.

The MT app can be in the same solution, btw. You just need
something <https://github.com/jamiebriant/VsMono>to fool VS
into loading it, and a hacked version of monotouch.dll that
claims to be .NET 4. Then you can use R# Solution Analysis to
catch errors as you type: if R# says there are no errors,
MonoDevelop will compile it on the Mac 99.99% of the time. I
edit my MT apps on windows.
I think I'll have to do that (are there step by step instructions
somewhere?). My brain hurts trying to learn all the different
keybindings on the mac despite having hacked as many as possible.
I use the alt-<firstletter> key mnemonics in windows all the time
and that plays merry hell on a mac!
