[Mono-list] Problem with TcpClient and AppDomains

[russell.kay at realtimeworlds.com]

All,

 

I'm building a client server application and I've had great success
working with .NET and Mono, I've been building them side by side and
have had very few problems.

 

But today I've encountered a problem that works fine under MS runtime
but fails under Mono and it appears to be a semantic issue which I'm not
sure about.

 

I'm using AppDomain's to isolate downloaded code that needs to be run on
the clients, today I created one that uses the TcpClient class,
everything worked properly under the MS runtime but when I came to run
it on the MAC then it falls over with the call stack appended below...

 

Now I had an issue before where on Mono it looked like the exe search
path was not getting set directly for a new AppDomain.. sure if this is
a related issue (it looks like the calling_assembly parameter that is
getting passed in is NULL).

 

It looks like the DNS class is using the ConfigurationManager to look
for the current network config and this is failing because it cannot
locate the exe for this Assembly in the AppDomain.

 

The AppDomainSetup that I am using is using ShadowCopy and a
PrivateBinPath if this info is relevant.

 

Does anyone know a work around?
