Hey Terry,

 

The VB runtime is in alpha state right now and under heavy development.

Please send your program to me, to the list, or create a bugzilla entry for
it, and I'll have a look at it.

 

Greetz,

-- Rob.

I have a quick question.  I've been playing with the VB runtime support in
mono and I've run into a problem between platforms.  I do most of my
development on Windows using VS.2003 but after I compile a project, I test
it against the mono runtimes and I'd created a sample console program to
test the mapping from one character encoding to another.  On Windows, the
test program works perfectly.  I'm able to pass a string of one encoding
type into my conversion assembly and have the program go through the
requisite lookup tables to pull the corresponding UTF-8 values and return
the re-mapped string.  However, when I move this test case to fedora, all
the special characters are filtered out.  I'm wondering if anyone might have
any advice.

Thanks, 

--Terry
