[Mono-osx] Can't compile any VB.NET code

[Hess, Philip J]

Hi Geoff,

Is 0.19 available somewhere in a Mono .dmg? If so, I can't locate it.

I've found some other things that appear to be broken as well, but I'll wait until I try a newer MonoDevelop before reporting them.

Also, for some reason I got the impression from other posts that Mono now had a Mac "native" look to it, but I'm not seeing that:

- MonoDevelop doesn't use Mac menu bar. Instead, has its own menu that uses a teeny, tiny font that I can just barely read.
- Doesn't use standard Mac key mappings (for example, standard Windows Ctrl+C, instead of Cmd+C for copy).
- Odd-looking dialogs. Can't it use the native Mac dialogs? If not, then how will we ever be able to utilize the power of Mac native dialogs (Print, with its preview and PDF output built-in, etc.)?
- Preferences stored in ~/.mono rather than in Mac-standard ~/Library/Preferences.
- No visual tools for designing dialogs, etc.?
- Etc.

Offhand, I really don't see Mac users willingly using software with these limitations.

Thanks.

-Phil

This is fixed in 1.9
