I don't know of a repository unfortunately, but I use the debs available at
http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=MonoDevelop and they work great. Make
sure to remove the old monodevelop debs before installing to ease the
installation.

Thanks!

Subject: [Mono-list] Heavy loaded web-site again
Message-ID: <4687EE9B.000005.01921@webmail13.yandex.ru>

Hello!

I've got some difficulties with heavy loaded web-site on mono (version 1.2.4, FreeBSD, Apache2).
After several days of normal work, mod-mono-server produces exception (found in apache error_log):

** (/usr/lib/mono/1.0/mod-mono-server.exe:25855): WARNING **: CreateThread: error creating thread handle
** (/usr/lib/mono/2.0/mod-mono-server2.exe:25857): WARNING **: CreateThread: error creating thread handle
Unhandled Exception: System.ExecutionEngineException: Couldn't create thread
** (/usr/lib/mono/1.0/mod-mono-server.exe:25855): WARNING **: CreateThread: error creating thread handle
Unhandled Exception: System.ExecutionEngineException: Couldn't create thread

After it mono web-site becomes unavailable.
I need to stop apache, kill all mono process and start apache for getting web-site online again.

Could any one tell me, what is the possible reason of this situation? 
It's not a lack of memory, because mod-mono process takes up just 500-800 Mb and OS have at least 1-2 Gb of free memory.


Thanks a lot!

Best wishes,
Max Karavaev

Subject: [Mono-list] [ANN] nUML 0.4 released
Message-ID: <183cc9f10707011554u5e65fb20l1a246a3b8c0cb58f@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everybody,

After eight months since our last release, we are pleased to announce
a new version of nUML.

nUML is a library for manipulating UML 2.0 (and MOF) models. It works
with Microsoft(R) .NET Framework, Mono::, and DotGNU. Serialization to
and from XMI 2.1 is supported.

In this release (0.4), besides several bug fixes, you will find:

- Improved interoperability with ArgoUML 0.24. An XSLT stylesheet to
transform XMI 2.0 to XMI 1.2 is provided, thus exporting nUML files to
ArgoUML format is now possible (the inverse operation was available in
previous releases, and has been enhanced in this one.)

- Implementation of the Templates package from UML 2.0 (attributes and
serialization only).

- More control over XMI production: object references can be
serialized either as XML attributes (as before) or XML elements (new
default option).

- A working implementation of the Profiles package. See
http://numl.sourceforge.net/index.php/Profiles_and_Stereotypes

- New interfaces IModelDomain and IModelDomainProvider (in NUml.Xmi2),
which allow to create model domains other than files.

- More (even weirder!) stuff. Check the ChangeLog and RELNOTES files.

If you were looking for a way to process your UML models with C#, this
library is for you.

Hello,

Try putting the MySql Connector DLL's in a bin directory in same directory
as your page.

If that does not work, here is a link to the 1.0.7 version of the connector:

  Thanks to the ideas suggested by those who responded, I have a little
more info on this.  I was trying to make a smaller test project that
reproduced this so I could submit a bug and found out that the real
problem is slightly different than I originally reported.  The real
problem isn't with simple marshaling of UTF-16 data using the
UnmanagedType.LPWStr, but rather the problem is with some SWIG code that
uses some function pointer tricks to allow C library functions to return
pointers-to-buffers without leaking memory.

   The trick I refer to is where the C Library has a pointer-to-function
that allocates string data for C# strings.  And the C# stub sends a
delegate function implementation to the C library to use for this - and
thus the string return values are managed by the C# world and not
leaked.

   I've got a very small test project that reproduces this.  I'll create
a bug and attach it shortly.  Two bugs, really.  Because as I created
this small test project I notice that if I compile the project with MS
visual studio it's ok but if I compile with mono the test project
crashes well before the spot I'm trying to test at.

   I'll create two bugs for this and send the links in case any brave
souls would like to take a look.

Please post, or better: file a bug with a self-contained and
compilable sample.

Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Trouble with utf-16 marshaling


  Thanks to the ideas suggested by those who responded, I have a little
more info on this.  I was trying to make a smaller test project that
reproduced this so I could submit a bug and found out that the real
problem is slightly different than I originally reported.  The real
problem isn't with simple marshaling of UTF-16 data using the
UnmanagedType.LPWStr, but rather the problem is with some SWIG code that
uses some function pointer tricks to allow C library functions to return
pointers-to-buffers without leaking memory.

   The trick I refer to is where the C Library has a pointer-to-function
that allocates string data for C# strings.  And the C# stub sends a
delegate function implementation to the C library to use for this - and
thus the string return values are managed by the C# world and not
leaked.

   I've got a very small test project that reproduces this.  I'll create
a bug and attach it shortly.  Two bugs, really.  Because as I created
this small test project I notice that if I compile the project with MS
visual studio it's ok but if I compile with mono the test project
crashes well before the spot I'm trying to test at.

   I'll create two bugs for this and send the links in case any brave
souls would like to take a look.

But .NET has built in security measures which prevent malware of any kind
from taking over your system. Silverlight, the new browser plugin, contains
a new simplified security system which makes it very difficult for anything
to overtly install itself. You can't even access a file on the hardrive
without going through a trusted path which (i believe) means popping up a
file selection dialog for the user to select the file in.

Lots of things are unneccessary. Coloured text is unneccesary. Hyperlinks
are unneccessary. Colour images on web pages are unnecessary. However all

I hope you weren't accessing the pixels one by one using GetPixel and
SetPixel. They are known to be very slow and are the reason why the unsafe
LockBits() method is offered which allows you to directly access the bytes
of the image and write c-style code which is every bit as fast (or at least
has the potential to be).

C# is compiled into a native executable when it is launched. There are also
tools out there which generate native executables from CIL code. Sometimes
these tools generate code that runs slower than if the code were just
JIT'ed. So technically speaking, CIL code *always* runs "natively" on your
platform of choice.


As a result, i don't think your proposition has actually proposed *anything*
that mono doesn't already do. Unless of course you were actually proposing
that the whole Mono framework is rewritten in C or C++ or whatever non-CIL
language of your choice and a thin c# wrapper is placed over that to provide
interoperability with existing .NET libraries. If that's what you're
suggesting, you obviously have completely missed the benefits gained when
writing in a managed language.

Subject: [Mono-list] Session problem with mod_mono
Message-ID: <4689D52F.2020206@alumni.uwaterloo.ca>

Hello list,

I have what I hope is an easy-to-solve problem.  I'm just getting
started using mod_mono.  I'm trying to see if I can get a WebService
running with cookieless sessions.  I added a method to TestService.asmx
from the xsp test samples, that looks as follows:

[WebMethod(EnableSession=true)]
public int TestSession ()
{
	int x = 0;
	if (Session["x"] != null)
	{
		x = (int)Session["x"];
		x++;
		Session["x"] = x;
	}
	else
	{
		Session["x"] = 0;
	}
	return x;
}

If I add <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false"/> to the
system.web section of the web.config file, it works fine, but once I set
cookieless="true", it fails as follows:

<html>
<title>Error 404</title><body bgcolor="white"><h1><font
color="red">Server error in '/monoapps' application</font></h1><hr>
<h2><font color="maroon"><i>File
'/monoapps/1.1/webservice/TestService.asmx/TestSession' not

<b>Description: </b>Error processing request.
<p>
<b>Error Message: </b>HTTP 404. File

<p>

</html>
<!--

context) [0x00000]
  at System.Web.HttpApplication+&lt;Pipeline&gt;__1.MoveNext () [0x00000]
-->

Now, I know the session id is supposed to be in the URL, and it is there
 in the browser, e.g.:

http://localhost/monoapps/(DB271823EA2F4B06CA2461CF)/1.1/webservice/TestService.asmx?page=op&tab=test&op=TestSession&bnd=TestServiceSoap&ext=testform

or:

http://localhost/monoapps/(DB271823EA2F4B06CA2461CF)/1.1/webservice/TestService.asmx/TestSession

If it is of any use, here is the Apache conf file for my monoapps folder
(which is really just a copy of the xsp test folder):

Alias /monoapps "/var/www/monoapps"
AddMonoApplications monoapps "/monoapps:/var/www/monoapps"
MonoServerPath monoapps /usr/bin/mod-mono-server
MonoPath monoapps
"/var/www/monoapps:/var/www/monoapps/bin:/var/www/monoapps/1.1:/var/www/monoapps/2.0"
MonoWapidir monoapps "/var/www/monoapps"
<Location /monoapps>
	MonoSetServerAlias monoapps
	SetHandler mono
</Location>

I came across various discussions about a bug that seemed related to
this kind of problem, but I imagine that it's more likely that I'm just
missing something in my setup.  I've encountered this exact same problem
with mono-1.1.17 on fc6, and mono-1.2.3 on fc7 (64-bit).  Can anyone
make any suggestions?

If there is a better list for this sort of question, or maybe some
documentation that clarifies how I should be configuring this, I
wouldn't mind being pointed in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I wouldn't consider that a security vulnerability at all. There are ways to
obfusticate and/or encrypt code if you so wish. IL itself may be easier or
harder to reverse engineer, i don't know. However there are many techniques
available to make it hard for people to decompile/reverse engineer your IL.

An example of the former for instance would be an enterprise application

Not really. All you'd find out is that your application is sending a SHA1
hash of a string that the user enters to a server which then checks to see
if it is valid or not. I'd hardly call that a security breach. Of course, if
you're hardcoding passwords *into* your enterprise application then you have
a much bigger problem on your hands.

No, but it's still safer than buffer overruns in C. Nothing is secure. Show
me one 100% secure system for unmanaged code. (You're not allowed choose
that system that uses a USB woggle thing for security).

So, the only way you judge an applications security is that it has a history
of being secured? Or do you call an application secure when you don't update
it? I fully trust a lot of applications i use, or i wouldn't have em
installed, but i still wouldn't put it past them to have an easily
exploitable security hole.

I never mentioned unsafe code funnily enough. It can all be done very safely
in managed code: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5ey6h79d.aspx

No, what i mean is that the IL is compiled to native code and that native
code is then executed. Therefore the application is "native" when it is
executed. You are not interpreting IL on the fly.

I think i've managed to avoid unwanted boxing in pretty much every program
i've written in C# except in cases where i didn't care enough to write the
code needed to avoid boxing, for example methods which are called two or
three times in the lifespan of the program.

Generally speaking, i get a BrowseForFolder dialog to appear within
milliseconds of clicking on the required button. Your system may need to be
checked up. It's no flaw in .NET or mono that your system is slow. It may be
worthwhile checking for malware.

Once again, that's not an isse with the .NET framework. I can argue much
more usefully that there are a huge number of developers in C/C++ who can't
write code that doesn't leak. It's much much easier to do that in C#. All
you do is override the finalizer in any class that holds unmanaged
resources. Thats when and where.

Now you don't need to do that. Funnily enough quite a lot of programmers
can't get this write. The reason is that objects can have quite complex life
cycles. Quite a lot of time is wasted  getting this right whereas with a
managed language you can forget completely about this kind of issue. There
is always a challenge in making sure that your objects are free'd correctly
under all circumstances.

Yes, but it's *nicer*. It's syntactic sugar. There's no point to it as such.
You could just as well argue that we don't need a "for" loop and a "while"
loop because they both do the same thing. One of them could easily replace
the other.


There's nothing managed for you at this level. If the count changes before

No, you'll get an exception as it's illegal to modify a collection while
iterating over it. You will find out very quickly if your collection is
modified when enumerating over it.

Cocoa is a programming  environment, not a language. I believe you mean
"Objective C". I never said that managed languages ran faster than unmanaged
ones. Once again, you can't blame Mono or .NET for the programmer
mis-understanding the Dispose or Finalize pattern. It's not ambiguous, It's
a fairly simple concept, much simpler than pointers. Of course, if the
programmer was equally unfamiliar with C or C++ i'm sure they'd write even
worse code than they would in C# ...

Nope, i never once mentioned unsafe code. GetPixel and SetPixel are slow as
there are several layers of indirection involved in getting the actual data.
The lockbits method provides a way to get at the actual data, copy it into a
managed byte[] and then in managed code, access that array as you wish. Of
course you *could* use unsafe code and pointers if you wanted to, which
would be slightly faster.


As to your final remarks, you do not understand me. Assemblies call into

C# compiles into native code when run. What you're talking about is writing
an implementation of .NET which is just a thin wrapper around native OS
calls, which is what i was asking earlier.

 I won't have my users waiting 9 seconds for a BrowseForFolder or
> BrowseForFile dialog to display content. I would even anticipate getting
> support calls for that.


And i'd laugh if you did. My system can manage to display a
FolderBrowserDialog in about 250ms (give or take). I think that's perfectly
acceptable.

Using managed languages removes the need to worry about memory management.
You can never have leaks. If you need to access unmanaged resources then you
have several good patterns for safely disposing them. If someone can't apply
those simple patterns, then they haven't a hope in hell of managing their
own resources in C/C++. You also gain type safety, array bounds checking and
misc other things.

What it also gives you is slightly higher memeory usage and slightly slower
code. If anyone tried to write a commercial video encoder using pure managed
C# i'd have to laugh at them. It'd never work. If anyone said they were
writing a new enterprise GUI application in C, i'd laugh at them because i
could write the same GUI in half the time with half the bugs in C# simply
because i don't have to worry about memory management issues and i have a
rich API at my disposal. This gives me more time for bug quashing and
feature extending.


So, if you can stand the performance reduction as compared to C when
balanced against the productivity gain moving to C#, then use C#. Otherwise
use your native language with the benefits and pitfalls it entails.

Alan.

Hello,

    This discussion seems to be now offtopic to the forum.   Am not sure
what is the relevance of this discussion about Javascript with .NET on
Unix.

    If you do not need .NET on Unix, then this forum is not for you.  In
the same way that a forum on "Women issues in Chiapas" is probably not
interesting to you.   

    You seem to like Delphi very much, may I suggest that you join a
Delphi group?

You seem to be lumping together a bunch of unrelated concepts under the
"security vulnerability" umbrella.   

You will need to explain what you mean by "IL will regularly pave the
way to security breaches", because as it stand, that statement makes no
sense. 

As for protecting intellectual property, I do not wish to be pedantic,
but intellectual property is a catch-all expression that is often
misused.   People usually mean one or more of copyright, patents and
trademarks.   My guess is that you might be worried that people can
decompile your code and find your secret sauce.

Secret sauce probably made sense 20 years ago, but today there are very
few new sauces and we all know how to make pesto or even better how to
find the recipe to make pesto.   And if you really have a secret sauce
and people want to get to it, chances are, they will get to it
regardless of whether you used IL or x86 assembly.

You are describing security through obscurity, and that is known to be
among the worst things you can do security wise:

Good luck with your browsing experience.

Well, then do not box or unbox.  "Doctor, it hurts when I poke my eye".

It is trivial, you copy the documented pattern in the Framework
Guidelines (which are the same that ship with .NET).

Foreach is actually six or seven different beasts, one of them is the
one you described.    It helps encapsulate a number of patterns for
iterating into a single expression.

I stopped at this point, as it seems like you are rambling without much
of a direction other than making a series of disconnected observations.

Mike,

In short, you are mixing up concepts.

First, the CLI is not ActiveX. To my knowledge Mono does not have  
dependencies on any COM replacement technologies.

Second, the big difference between C#/Java and Delphi/Pascal/... is  
not the C-like-or-not syntax but the managed environment it's  
executed in, replacing null pointer references previously leading to  
immediate segmentation faults with exceptions the program can easily  
handle. Mono and .NET handle many languages, not just C#.

Third, .NET is not just a replacement for Java. It fixes many  
limitations Java still has and C#/VB.NET introduced some nice  
aglnuage features which Java got only afterwards (1.5). Java is still  
lacking a convenient bridge algorithm like p/invoke (JNI is not an  
equivalent, it compares better to embedding Mono).

Fourth, in your argument that you don't want JavaScript and ActiveX  
in your browser you are completely missing the point that Mono is not  
a browser technology. It can be used for exactly what you expressed a  
wish for, transmitting data from one location to another without  
rendering.

Hope this clarifies some things.

Andreas

Hello!
 
I have a question to the compiler error references listed on
http://www.go-mono.com/docs/:

Is there a subset of these compiler error numbers that mcs/gmcs may
produce if called with the --parse argument?
I noticed already that --parse does only syntax checking, but does not
check interdependencies between files etc. like done at compilation.


Thanks for your help,
Harald

You must enable code-behind members generation (disabled by default)

1. Go in Project/Options
2. Unfold Configurations/Debug (or Release)
3. Select the sub-item "ASP.Net" and check the single box
"Autogenerate ...."

Kind regards,

Adrien

Subject: [Mono-list] Problem with gecko-sharp and sample applications
Message-ID: <468a3095764c0@wp.pl>

Hi,


I'm unable to run sample applications for gecko-sharp. It gets SIGSEGV 
(stack trace below - if it needed I probably could add some debug 
symbols for it).
I tried with gecko-sharp-2.0-0.11 (installed on my system from RPM - 
Fedora Core 6) and sample applications from gecko-sharp-2.0-0.11 
tarball. I modified compilation command to have:

[marcinz at bolger sample]$ /usr/bin/mcs -unsafe 
-lib:/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/ 
-r:/usr/lib/mono/gecko-sharp-2.0/gecko-sharp.dll -lib:/usr/lib 
-pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0 -out:WebThumbnailer.exe ./WebThumbnailer.cs

libgtkembedmoz.so was taken from firefox-1.5.0.12 (and from 
thunderbird-1.5.0.12) (also from RPM). I seems to be linked with gtk2:

[marcinz at bolger gecko-sharp-2.0-0.11]$ ldd 
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/libgtkembedmoz.so | grep gtk
        libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x06b19000)

I tried also with that lib taken from esc (Enterprise Security Client) 
which didn't get SIGSEGV, but I only saw white window.


Could it be problem with libgtkemedmoz.so? I so, where can I download 
its "working" version?


Thanks for help
Marcin

  I updated to the latest SVN code this morning and noticed that the

int a = 100;
int b = -2147483647;
System.Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Math.Max(a, b) is {0}",

Prints -2147483647 when I'd expect it to print 100.  Looking at the
source code to Math.Max in class/corelib/System/Math.cs I don't see any
problem, though.  Can someone else verify this?

Don't have SVN here, but on mono 1.2.3.1 it's working fine.

$ cat a.cs
using System;
public class MainClass {
        public static void Main() {
                int a = 100;
                int b = -2147483647;
                Console.WriteLine("Math.Max({0}, {1}) is {2}", a, b,
Math.Max(a, b));
        }
}
$ mcs a.cs
$ mono a.exe
Math.Max(100, -2147483647) is 100

Please file a bug and mention that it doesn't occur with
`mono --optimize=-all'.

My mono version is: Mono JIT compiler version 1.2.4 (/trunk/ r80002),
so it's probably not a fresh bug.

Please chill out. No one launched any personal attacks of any kind against
you. Alan, Miguel and many others have taken the time to answer and answer
you again and I do not see any personal blames in their prose.

In the IT world everything changes and can change very quicky and it is up
to you to "sniff" what is coming and anticipate moves. I perfectly
understand your frustation against this always-moving-world but.. how
could I say... "This behaviour is by design" :-) An IT career is marked by
milestones and rocky roads but this is the game and you have to anticipate
what the future on this road will look like and do adequate moves.

Take your skills at your advantage, you seems to have a good experience in
Pascal/Delphi and Pascal/.Net compilers are available. If you are quite
new to the .Net world, take your time to explore it from your Delphi basis
and see what it can do for you. You will be amazed of how your existing
skills associated with a "new start" can be a benefit for you.

You may disagree to that but this is the rude law of the IT Market. They
have to make profit, and to make profit they have to sell/innovate and.Net
is a keypoint in their goals. Imagine what the IT market would look like
if Java would have been available.

I do not know if you already played around with old Win32 C/C++
applications but the first time I used C# 7 years ago I ensure you it was
a real pleasure to not rewrite the plumbering again and again and spending
weeks on debugging funny stuff like null pointers issues or memory leaks.
>From a project point of view, using .Net/Java has the main advantage of
being able to focus on the application design and documentation and to
reduce potential bugs by reducing the number of code lines you have to
write and the application development costs.

Of course you are not required to use .Net or Java, you can use many other
bricks. Java is an alternative in high level languages. If you love "old"
technologies you can either use C++ or Assembler, no one forbids you to
act that way and no one will condemn you to act so. They just "ease" the
programmer's job.

Please file a bug and mention that it doesn't occur with
`mono --optimize=-all'.

My mono version is: Mono JIT compiler version 1.2.4 (/trunk/ r80002),
so it's probably not a fresh bug.

Hello again,

I've reproduced this same problem again on WinXP with the latest
Apache/mod_mono/Mono setup.  I also found an old bug where someone
reported the same problem I'm having, but it was ultimately determined
to be 'not a bug':

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=73203

So...my question is if this is not a bug, then what might I be doing
wrong in my configuration? All I've really done to cause the problem is
add the sessionState node in the web.config file with cookieless="true".
 Clearly I've missed some other key step.  Any recommendations?

Regards,
Mike

That flag is an internal flag that we use to profile the compiler, it is

Hi,

No offense, but what I thought when I read your mail and your first
reply to Alan is that you had no clue about what .NET/Mono is and how it
works. I guess that the other people that replied had the same feeling.
If you find the answers obvious, then you clearly failed in explaining
your message.

Let me summarize some of the statements you made that lead me to believe
your lack of knowledge of .NET/Mono:

> What I don't understand is why MONO just *followed* Microsoft down the
> questionable path of Java.
> A principal purpose of .Net of course was to defeat Java because
> Microsoft was losing so many developers to Java, but not because
> Java was better than other object oriented alternatives such
> as Delphi or C++Builder

My conclusion here was that you didn't know what the Mono project was
about. The Mono community *do* believe in the path initiated by Java and
later improved by Microsoft (that is, in a managed, language agnostic,
portable, object oriented development platform). That's why the Mono
project was created. The question of "why Mono just *followed*
Microsoft" doesn't make any sense, since Mono *is* an implementation of
Microsoft .NET, for the good and for the bad (of course Mono is not only
MS.NET. We embraced, and we extended it).

> Another reason I believe Microsoft followed Java is that Microsoft
doesn't
> want to abandon it's greatest security risk -- ActiveX -- and, that
> because they will not do that, they will never understand how to build
a
> secure OS. What sense does it make then for UNIX/Linux to follow this
path
> (...)
> Adhering to a concept of transmitting only data between web
applications
> wholly eliminates the need to follow the COM/ActiveX pattern

My conclusion after those statements is that you have a great confusion,
because you are talking about technologies which are not related at all
with Mono. Mono has no relation at all with COM/ActiveX. So the question
"What sense does it make then for UNIX/Linux to follow this path" does
not make any sense by itself.

> Assumably, abstracting support for the .Net libraries within an

as

base
> or roughly similar code base, as native executables on Linux/UNIX, 
> obviously *that* is a place we *really* want to go today.

My first reaction after reading this was to think that you didn't
know .NET/Mono compiles IL into native code on the fly, and that there
are tools which can convert portable assemblies to native libraries. The
sentence "running far faster than Windows counterparts running as IL"
was specially misleading, as IL is never interpreted, but compiled to
native code. In fact, when you install .NET on windows, all assemblies
of the framework are compiled no native libraries. Maybe you already
know all this, but everybody reading that paragraph will believe the
contrary.

implementations,

(...)

> distributed to impersonate others... etc..

You don't say it, but I assumed here that "IL will regularly pave the
way to security breaches" because it is easy to decompile. It made me
smile because you are using the same argument that some people use to
attack open source, saying that it is less secure because everybody can
read the code. I know that not all code is meant to be read by people,
but it made me smile anyway.

You then talked about keys being stolen, signature impersonation and so
on. This seemed a really poor argument to me, since those security
technologies are not specific of .NET, but they are used everywhere. If
you don't rely on keys, signatures and certificates, you should stop
using SSL, SSH, GPG and many other technologies.

All this also made me believe that you didn't know what is CAS, and how
it can help running untrusted code in a secure way.

This paragraph made me believe that you don't know the meaning of
"managed", because the fact that .NET/Mono is a managed platform has
*nothing* to do with language features or compiler tricks.

> Now, if you're trying to tell me MONO runs as fast as Cocoa on OS X

Yet another sentence that people will interpret as a deep lack of
knowledge of what Mono is. Mono can't be compared to Cocoa. It's like
asking if Python is faster than Motif. Nonsense.

So, summarizing, the impression I got is that you had a superficial idea
of what .NET/Mono is. Maybe it's a wrong impression, but that's what I
believed after reading your mails. 

And yes, after all this I really felt the need of teaching ABCs before
discussing other more advanced proposals.

I also came to the following conclusions:

      * You don't see any benefit on the fact that .NET binaries are
        portable across platforms.
      * You think that the security measures that .NET provides are
        useless, including the sandbox.
      * You don't believe that the protection that a managed platform
        provides has any advantage.
      * You don't think that a language-agnostic platform such as .NET
        is of any use.
      * You also don't believe that developing with .NET/Mono is more
        productive than developing in other platforms (after all, the
        productivity you get from a development platform is the sum of
        all its features, including the previous ones in this list).

The Mono project was created because we believe in all those values. If
you don't believe on them, Mono is clearly not for you.

Hello,

If you would like to run your site in XSP, you should be using xsp2 (not 
xsp).  For mod_mono, in your apache configuration, make sure you specify 
  the mono server path, and point it at mod-mono-server2; for example:

MonoServerPath "/usr/local/bin/mod-mono-server2"

There is more detailed info on this in the man pages.

2/ the home page does not compile anymore. It is split into 2 files
(patial classes): default.aspx contains the HTML and Web controls,
App_Code/Default.cs contains the c# code. In the aspx page,I have a
treeview control: <asp:TreeView ID="SourceTree" runat="server" />
I use this treevew in the cs file:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 [...]
    SourceTree.Nodes.Add(newNode);

But at compilation time, mono complains that SourceTree does not exist.

Is there something taht I should do differently in 1.2.4?

Thank you

Julien

Message-ID: <2E3B85873D744C47B8893AD06108A231427681@ts-mx-01.corp.infusiondev.com>

Hello,
I'm using Mono 1.2.4 on Windows XP for developing an Asp.Net 1.1 website. I've set it up for Forms authentication, and the settings in Web.Config look like this:

<authentication mode="Forms">

<forms name=".myapp" protection="All" loginUrl="Login.aspx" path="/" timeout="120" />

</authentication>

The problem is, the Login.aspx page includes some css and js resources, and when I look at the HTTP trace using Fiddler I can see that those resources are not being served. I don't have this problem when the site is run using IIS.

There is also a request for "/WebResource.axd?a=s&r=WebUIValidation.js&t=6333..." which is also not being served. (Isn't WebResource.axd specific to .net 2.0?) 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Amit

For 1, it actually depends on the type of error.

for 2, I have no clue. I tried the example given at
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2005-September/014868.html,
and I run against the same problem.

I don't use XSP2 or mod_mono to start the web server, but this piece of
code:

XSPWebSource source = new XSPWebSource(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, 8080);
server = new ApplicationServer(source);
server.AddApplicationsFromCommandLine("/:/path/web");
server.Start(true);

The issue is that your app is compiled against gtk# 2.10, where the
windows installer comes with gtk# 2.8.  (The win32 installer will
probably upgraded to 2.10 for the next release).

A solution needs to be found to easily compile against older gtk#
versions to enable running on different/older systems.  Until that
happens, this will be a common problem for people deploying gtk# apps
without recompiling.  Mike Kestner talked about having "sdk" installs
for older gtk# versions to make this possible.

The Mac installation doesn't come with gtk#.  There are some tutorials
out there on getting it installed, but it's quite the endeavor compared
to a simple install.

Subject: [Mono-list] mod-mono-server2 with threadpool does not correct
	threadstatic
Message-ID: <11460637.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hi,

I have a mono application running with mod_mono on mono 1.2.4. I have
created somewhere in my webapp a threadstatic variable, actually a generic
stack with specific objects. No i am running my webapp, and seeing my log
file, i see that sometimes the same thread is reused later. This is logical,
because there is a threadpool containing all threads, using them later
again. But when i see that the same thread is reused, the threadstatic
variables are not reset. I don't know if this is a bug, from compiler view
its right, because it's the same thread. But from webapplication view, i
think this is not right. 

Is there any solution for this, or have i to report this as a real bug?

greetings,

Adriaan

Hi,

Which webserver are u running? It seems that you have running the mono
handler on all type of files. In apache you have configure it with
SetHandler mono, so all files are handled. If it's allowed to download those
files, you can give anonymous rights to that files in your web.config:
 <authorization>
      <allow users="?"/>
or you can use AddHandler to prevent js files to be handled by mono.

This is not a bug. As you said, the threads are reused. That's why
the [ThreadStatic] fields are already initialized.

Hi,

So, is there a possibility to solve this problem without manually clearing
the stack by each new request in the global.asax? or is there no standard
way to solve this problem?

greetings,

Hi!

If you want your variable reset after each request why delare it static?

Pleas give some further details about what are you trying to accomplish,
then maybe someone can point you to other solution.

Cheers!

Hi,

ok, great, it's better to explain why ;-)

I have implemented a scenario with using statement. So, i have created a
context object which is saved in your session. But it's possible to define a
sub-context, for a systemaccount to do some tasks. After the task has been
done, you revert to your own context:
using(Context c = new Context())
{
   //system account tasks
}
//your own tasks

In Context i have a threadstatic variable Context.Current, which gives you
your own context. This is also used in the transactionscope object of .net
2.0. So i use a Stack containing all contexts currently on stack. So, when
you stop your request, the stack is still not empty, because your own
context is not disposed (its saved in session object). So, when other user
is using your thread from pool, the stack is not empty!

Hopefully this gives you some information what i am doing. Thank you in
advance for your answer!

Adriaan

Guys, I don't believe that anyone didn't use it. If someone, please let
me know which version (and taken from) of libgtkembedmoz.so you used.
I tried also with .so compiled from source tarball 
(seamonkey-1.1.2.source.tar.bz2), but with the same effect (SIGSEGV).

Btw, if there is more suitable mailing list related to gecko-sharp 
please let me know.

Hello!

The compilation of the code below fails, apparently because 
Windows.Forms cannot be found on the system. I do have 
Windows.Forms.dll. I am using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and I installed mono 
from ubuntu packages.

Any advice is appreciated.

hi,

I suppose you're starting the application (exe file) directly by double
click on it or from the console.
The solution is:
 - Execute you application using the mono.exe (C:\program
files\mono-xxx\bin\mono.exe) like this: "mono youApp.exe".
 - If you want to execute you apps using the MS Framework and the GT#
libraries, you have to add this libraries to the GAC.

  You need to add the reference to System.Windows.Forms just like you
did System.Drawing.  Such as "mcs -r:System.Drawing
-r:System.Windows.Forms sample.cs"

sorry, i forgot small things. most likely your $ORACLE_HOME/lib has
libclntsh.so.10.1 but mono looking for libclntsh.so and cann't handle
version number.
so, in my case i simply using ln -s like this:

ln -s /home/my_home/oracle_client/libclntsh.so
/home/my_home/oracle_client/libclntsh.so.10.1

or you can use mono dll.config files, which also works for me, but
little bit more tricky.
regards,
--amc

  I checked my machine and I have the ".dll" extension in my command
line 

  "-r:System.Window.Forms.dll" 

  If adding the ".dll" to your example doesn't work then I'm out of
ideas :)

Subject: [Mono-list] ANNOUNCE: Mono.Addins 0.2
Message-ID: <1183741230.4539.32.camel@portador.site>

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Mono.Addins 0.2.

Mono.Addins is a generic framework for creating extensible applications,
and for creating libraries which extend those applications.

The 0.2 release comes with many bug fixes and some improvements and new
features:

      * Assemblies registered in the GAC can now be referenced
        from .addins files
        (http://www.mono-project.com/Mono.Addins_Reference_Manual#Add-ins_in_the_GAC).
      * Add-ins now have a private data path which can be used by
        extensions to store arbitrary data files at run time
        (http://www.mono-project.com/Mono.Addins_Reference_Manual#The_private_data_directory).
      * Added support for add-ins which are disabled by default.
      * The core library no longer depends on Mono.Posix.
      * The assemblies are n
