AW: [Mono-list] Printing

[Jay Bennie]

hi Jan

The java can be used co-ixed with c# and i'm fairly sure there is no 
difficulty with mono - the java will just run - i just lack the 
experiance with mono as i dont use it yet - i tend  to do alot of 
windows GUI development and need SWF to be working before i can swap 
over meaningfully.

ps i think you can also just do mono somejavaapp.jar and it will work

codeing is very simple

in a c# class you simply add java using the using declarations i.e.

using System;
using System.Windows.forms; // a C# lib
using Java.IO;  // a java Lib


namespace sometest
{

public class test1
{
	public test1()
	{
	/*
It's a funny old concept - but as both Laguages use ecma there is no 
change to syntax - all that happens is you have an additional set of 
namespaces - some of which duplicate functionality within the mono/.net 
framework
*/
		Java.IO.TextWriter tmp = new TextWriter("/home/jay/testfile.txt");
	tmp.writeLine("hello world");
	tmp.flush();
	tmp.close();
	}
}

}
