AW: [mono-vb] Just a small bit of information...

[Jambunathan Jambunathan]

Jochen I didn't understand your questions. Anyways I hope the
following would give you an answer.

This is an internal attribute that is mono specific. Fixing up of
MSVB.dll will be done through a monodis-fixup-ilasm cycle as 
part of "make all". The fixup will be accomplished through a
perl script.

The fixed up exe would be 100% compatible with MS's wrt
MSVB libarary methods that have take parameters with
default value.

Btw, perl works with MS and so does disassembler and assembler.

So getting a portable dll will atmost be a matter of fixing up this
extra fixup cycle.

Btw, if anyone is interested in helping us with migrating MSVB from
C# to VB is most welcome. This would help us immensely to uncover
mbas bugs.

But as a policy, we won't accept any VB files in to CVS unless they are

proven to be complete. (Well that is a rigorous requirement indeed.)
Also any of the Novell developers are less likely to contribute in
this
converter arena anytime in the near future.

Jambunathan K.

Will it be compatible with MS.NET at the end? Let's say we compile an
EXE and the library with our optional value had been compiled with
MS.NET...

Thanks!
