[mono-vb] Re: [Mono-list] DotNetNuke on Mono (Windows)

[Jambunathan Jambunathan]

Hello

mono's vb.net compiler - mbas is still under active development. Though
it's not complete it's very much usable. The VisualBasic runtime - 
Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll is almost complete leave alone some yet to
be identified glitches here and there ;-)

>is that something in the VB runtime threw an exeption?

If you are interested in VB.NET components of mono then you should
be strictly building it from CVS. The Split bug, IIRC, was fixed close 
to a month before in CVS HEAD. Since you are running in to this already
addressed issue, I would suspect that you are either using mono-1.0 
packages or building it from 1.0 tree of cvs which is *strongly*
discouraged if you are interested in mbas.

As for running VB.NET version of DNN, mbas is not there yet. DNN
is some thing that we may want to get running with mbas eventually,
but we aren't there yet. That said, we very much need mono enthusiasts
like you to help us get there faster.

Btw, if you have been tracking the mono-vb list you would have 
noticed that we made some perf related changes couple of days back
which makes mbas much more faster than what it was before.

So check out mbas from cvs today and let us know what you find.

Jambunathan K.

I would start off by grabbing the c# version of dotnetnuke because I am 
unsure if the vb support is 100% in mono right now.
