Absolutely will not work as that DLL calls lots of Windows API functions
directly.
=20
Hello,
=20
If I take Microsoft's implementation of System.Drawing.dll, and put it
in /usr/lib in place of the mono implementation, it would work?
=20
After all, System.Drawing.dll is a piece of IL code...
=20
(on the other hand, maybe not, because the Microsoft DLL p/invokes some
Win32 dll.)
=20
I am asking because my code uses System.Drawing.Bitmap.LockBits, which
is still unimplemented, and I'm anxious to see how it runs on linux.
=20
Thanks for your help!
