Getting it to Work On Mono #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What is the main issue of your suggestion?  I would like to be able to build 
and run this App on MONO.

Why it's useful to others?  Well you have a lot of Linux and Mac users using 
Mono so I think running it would help promote the product.

Details?  None known of yet

Implementing?  Have not tried to implement it myself yet.

Hi briviere,
Thanks for your suggestion!
I also thought about the possibility of implementing the lib for Mono.
Actually, the problem is: I have no time for that and also I still doen't have 
a Linux distribution on my PC.
So, I can say I will definetly develop a release for Mono, but can't say when. 
It could take until three month or so, but not longer (I hope so ^^). (I'm 
really busy at this time and in near future)

Thank you again for your (very good) suggestion

Maas

P.S.: I thought it would be possible with Mono to use .NET-compiled libraries 
without recompilation (with .NET 2.0). But OK, I will test it then. (I don't 
have any practical experience with Mono)

Hi, i'm trying to use it with mono. 
I can give you the following feedback. 
Trying to use the library and in particular trying to download a chart i get 
error on this line:
YahooManaged.Base.StreamResponse resp = dl.Download(id);

**  WARNING **: Missing method CompareString in assembly 
YahooManaged.Finance.dll, type Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Operators

So i think the problem is that you're using 
Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Operators 
but this Assembly is not present in Mono. 

Thank you for you great job. 
Regards!

OK, I hope I understand it.
The solution would be a C# written/compiled library, right?
That's the same problem like with Windows Phone (IDE). Not realy, because it's 
possible to write Silverlight-projects with VB.NET, but the effect for 
developing is the same. I hate it...but I will do this. :-)
That could need some time. Like I said, I'm very busy at this moment (studying) 
and rewriting the library means also testing the library completely, which 
needs the most time of all together.

Thanks a lot for the hint!

Hi Maas, i'm sorry for my previous issue , but... now It works. 
Simply, if you are a Linux user, using MonoDevelop, it is necessary to install 
libmono-microsoft-visualbasic package ! 

Now it works ;)!
