[Mono-dev] Controls within a control in ASP.NET

[Wael Zeenni]

Dear Eric,  
   
Thanks for the response.  
   
I ran the ComponentArt DLL through the MoMA and everything turned out fine. There were no PInvokes and no missing Mono functionality.  
   
As to where the error is coming up, I know exactly where it's happening. I started a blank aspx page and placed 2 controls in it. One of them is a Dialog control and then, inside this dialog control, I placed a text box. When I ran this through IIS, it worked fine. However, when I ran it with Mono, I got the same error below.  
Realistically, I don't need to declare these controls using "new" at runtime as I am not creating them dynamically. They are already on the page. However, if this is a Mono workaround, I guess I'll have to try that. But where should I declare these controls? In the PageLoad()?  
   
And regarding your other solution about tracing, unfortunately, I'm not that experienced with doing this sort of stuff. I just thought that I couldn't be the only person here with this problem. I'm sure someone else must have had some project where a control is contained within another control :p  
   
Any ideas? I really need this to work or else it will effectively kill my web app's cross-platformness :(

Are you sur ComponentArt DLL doesn't use or wrap native Windows API or
registre ?
Perhap's a bug in the dll or in Mono?
Perhap's you need somewhere to declare an object with "new" ?
Try to add "try .. catch" block with console.writeline(ex.message +
environment.newline + ex.stackstraces) like this you will see the line
number of the code where the problem is, if it is in your code of
course.
If you have compiled Mono from SVN or dailly tarball you shoul see
also the line number in the Mono source code (helpfull)
