Find open source .Net apps for testing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Scour the popular open-source sites for applications we can use for 
testing Mono.

For example:
http://www.codeproject.com
http://www.codeplex.com
http://www.sourceforge.net

These can be apps that:
- Show some deficiencies in our implementation and can be used as test 
cases.  Some examples can be seen at http://www.mono-
project.com/Winforms_Samples.
- Applications that do run well and would be useful for us package for 
people to run on Mono/Linux.  Some examples can be seen at http://www.mono-
project.com/InfrastructureProjects#Ongoing_Maintenance_of_third_party_compo
nents.

Deliverables:
A MediaWiki page that includes a name of the application, a link to it, a 
summary of what the application does, and its status for working on Mono.  
The status for Mono can be checked using MoMA (http://www.mono-
project.com/MoMA).  If few or no problems are reported by MoMA, try 
running it on Mono.  (The biggest non-portability problem are P/Inokves 
reported by MoMA, if the app has more than 10-15, don't worry about it.)

You can test some of Mono's ASP.Net implementation with 
http://www.subversionreports.org/

How many examples do you need?

Original comment by eric.k....@gmail.com on 17 Dec 2007 at 9:58

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think 10 is a fair number.

(And of course they can't be ones listed on the pages in the description, they 
need
to be new ones!)

I have a question.  I have put an application through MoMA, and it generated a 
list
of errors.  How do I know whether I should submit it?  The parts it failed on 
include
P/Invokes into native code, Methods called that throw NotImplementedException, 
and
Methods called marked with [MonoTodo].

One more thing.  I am just trying to make sure I understand what you are 
looking for.
 You want applications that do poorly, and applications that pass with flying colors?

Also, all of the above applications must be useful.  Am I correct, or did I
misunderstand something?

You can always submit it, but you probably need to also save the html file it
generates and post it somewhere (or put them all in a zip at the end and attach 
it to
this task).

Pretty much any non-trivial application is fine, whether it does good or 
poorly.  We
can use poor ones to improve Mono, and we can use good ones to showcase Mono. 
Non-trivial just means an actual useful open-source application, not like a 10 
line
example program.

Something kinda like this: http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight_1.0_TestSites, 
but
for desktop applications, and with links to the MoMA results.

Here's one.  Notepad .NET, a notepad replacement. (it looks nice, and it has a 
office
2007 ribbon look-alike)  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepaddotnet/>

Here's another.  This monitors network bandwidth.  It's called FreeMeter.

Feed Launch .NET - feed creator and feed editor for both RSS 2.0 and ATOM 1.0 
feeds.
Nice, clean interface. Preview feeds or save them on the hard disk.  Looks very 
nice.

Sorry, all of the above applications have problems reported with MoMA.

I found one that MoMA says is completely compatible.  It is a blackjack game -
Sindy's Blackjack.  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/bfsblackjack/>

Is beta all right, or is it too buggy to be used to test Mono?

XML Notepad 2007.  Not in beta.  MoMA got errors on every part.  You can get it 
from
<http://www.codeplex.com/xmlnotepad>.

What Sindy's Blackjack and XML Notepad 2007 do are said in the titles.  I 
thought it
was pretty self-explanatory.  I would have edited the comment, but I can't do 
that.

Sandcastle Help File Builder.  It is not in beta.  MoMA also got errors on every
part.  You can get it at <http://www.codeplex.com/SHFB>.  It is used to make 
Help Files.

Beta is fine if it still has significant functionality.  Like gmail is a 
'beta', but
its still a pretty complete email client.  ;-)

This is #7 - PassKeeper.  This is a beta.  It failed on two of the categories.  
It
stores passwords in an encrypted database. <http://www.codeplex.com/passkeeper>

XML Explorer is a lightweight XML file viewer. It supports multiple document 
tabs,
and support for middle-clicking to close tabs. It can handle extremely large XML
files (or so it says).  This is not a beta.  It failed in two categories. 
<http://www.codeplex.com/xmlexplorer>.  #8.

I never realized how few .NET open source applications there are.  I barely got 
8,
and I had to include betas!

Calculator .NET.  It is a replacement for the windows calculator, comes with 
extra
features.  Not a bad layout.  Not a beta.  It uses .NET 3.5 (the latest 
version). 
MoMA says it works perfectly. <http://code.google.com/p/calculator/>  

Also, there is a simple timer.  It is not a beta.  It doesn't really have a 
name.  It
failed all categories of MoMA.  Simple & easy to use.
