[Mono-winforms-list] System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException

[Ben Lamb]

Hi,

I'm trying to test Managed.Windows.Forms by compiling a simple HelloWorld 
program (listed below). Whenever I try and use Managed.Windows.Forms I get 
the following:

$ mono test.exe
Mono System.Windows.Forms Assembly [Revision: 41731; built: 2005/2/15 5:56:12]

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was 
thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI --->

in <0x0002b> System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox:Show (System.String text)
in <0x0000c> WelcomeGUI.Welcome:Main (System.String[] args)

I've installed kubuntu Linux 5.04. Initially I tried with Mono 1.1.6 and 
libgdiplus 1.1.5 both compiled from sources. When that didn't work I checked 
out today's versions of Mono and libgdiplus from subversion and built those. 
Same error.

My X Server is x.org's 6.8.2 release, gcc 3.3. I compiled mono with the .NET 
2.0 preview enabled.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben Lamb.


My test program:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MyTest
{
 class TestClass
 {
  static void Main( string[] args )
                {
   MessageBox.Show( "Hello World!" );
  }
 }
}
