[Mono-list] Muno usage problem

Sun, 06 Jun 2004 21:47:49 +0200

Hi Alex,

your experience sounds pretty normal for System.Windows.Forms and/or
System.Drawing applications. Both of these API's are still under heavy
development and I do not think you can expect many .NET apps depending
on them to run just yet. 

However, if you are interested in SWF development, do subscribe to the
list and there are many people here that are working on development in
these namespaces. There is even a winforms mailing list and other
resources available, check this link for more information:

http://go-mono.com/winforms.html

regards,

--chris

PS: my experience was as yours: your app ran fine with the microsoft 1.1
framework but neither with mono in windows or linux - i would say your
install is probably fine, but SWF is probably not quite there yet.
