[Mono-list] Winform App Failure

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

Alex,

Can you give some details as to what it is you're doing (API call)? And 
maybe some details on the version of Mono you're using.
It's not the swf.dll that's the problem in this case, the failure is most 
likely in System.Drawing (or libgdiplus).

Are you using packages or did you build mono from source? If you built from 
source, did libgdiplus 'configure' properly detect your png library? (when 
it completes it prints what image libraries it detected and will enable 
support for).

Can you check if the picture works when used directly from disk and only 
fails when used as an embedded resource?

And ultimately, if everything else checks out, can you create a little test 
app that uses the picture that's failing and log a bug? Or, if you don't 
have the original source, can you attach the app (or provide a means to get 
it to reproduce and fix the bug)?

Cheers,
  Peter

PS: Winforms has it's own mailing list at mono-winforms-list@ximian.com , 
for real winforms problems (this I don't think is one) you might find a 
better audience there.
