[Mono-winforms-list] Porting Windows App

[Gideon de Swardt]

Hi All

I have been keeping a keen eye on the mono implementation of Windows Forms project for quite some time now. After every release I would go test some small apps that was originally developed for windows. I have always had trouble with this one specific test app. I have mono 1.1.17.1 installed.

I compiled the source code on my Linux box successfully, but receive the following error during execution:

Mono System.Windows.Forms Assembly [$auto_build_revision$]
Gtk colorscheme read

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at System.Windows.Forms.MimeIconEngine.GetIconIndexForMimeType (System.String mime_type) [0x00000]

  at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) dev.Cleanup.Cleanup:.ctor ()
  at dev.Cleanup.Cleanup.Main () [0x00000] 

Please see attached the source file for this little program "Cleanup.cs"

Here is the command line for compiling the source code.


$ gmcs -target:winexe -out:Cleanup.exe -r:System.Windows.Forms -r:System.Drawing -r:System.Data Cleanup.cs


I dont know if this is something specific in the code that is causing this problem, or whether is an actual bug.
