You will be better off compiling vb on WIndows and have
the exes run against mono.

Remenber that the code is evolving and there is bound to be some
inconsistencies.

Owkey :), I just started so it doesn't matter.

Ok, I will give her a few hugs. I do need a bit of guidance, this is my
first Mono / Linux experience, however, C# is a good friend of me.
I could use especially a little guidance in the development setup.
I currently have Suse 9 with mono, but I couldn't get the build / test
one
dll thing to work. I tried 'make' in the Microsoft.VisualBasic folder,
but
that gave an error.
Furthermore, I didn't know exactly how to build the Mainsoft tests on
linux.
I'm now using a Windows XP / mono cvs / SharpDevelop combo in the
meantime,
until I have a decent setup on Suse.
I suggest that I'll implement a couple of methods in the class (using
MainSoft's contribution), diff. it and post it here, so I can get some
feedback on formatting / other mistakes.
A couple of questions I had when I was sniffing around in the sources:
- Why are signatures always using the entire namespace, like
System.Object?
- I see a lot of full names within methods, like Boolean or String, is
this
just a personal preference?
- Is it the intention to convert all mainsoft tests to unit tests,
besides
creating more tests?
